Lemon Poppyseed Loaf Cake

Happy September!

After some technical difficulties I’m finally able to post this lemon poppyseed loaf cake recipe, I know it’s time to get out all the fall spices but I just really had to share this one!!! I love lemon flavor in baked goods and this cake is just super delicious!

Lemon Poppyseed Loaf Cake

• 2 cups white spelt flour
• 4 tsp baking powder
• 1/2 tsp salt
• 1 cup honey
• 1/2 cup olive oil
• 1/3 cup plain unsweetened yoghurt, (I used plant based)
• Juice of 1 large lemon
• Zest of 2 large lemons
• 2 tsp vanilla extract
• 1/4 cup poppy seeds

– Line a 30 cm loaf pan with parchment paper. Preheat the oven to 350 F.

– In a large bowl add all the dry ingredients; flour, baking powder, salt and poppy seeds, mix well.

– In a separate smaller bowl whisk together the oil, honey, yoghurt, vanilla, lemon juice and zest.

– Pour the wet ingredients into the bowl with the dry ingredients and mix together until well combined.

– Fill into prepared loaf pan.

– Bake in preheated oven for about 45 minutes or until tester inserted into centre of cake comes out clean.

– Optional but really tasty: Glaze the still hot cake with a lemon and honey, or lemon and icing sugar glaze.

– Let cool completely before cutting. The lemon flavor will be even more intense the following day.

Enjoy!
