Poppy Seed Cake

Description

Poppy seed cake is a tender and flavorful cake often flavored with lemon or orange, with poppy seeds providing a distinct texture and a hint of nutty flavor. The cake batter typically includes flour, butter, sugar, eggs, and liquid like milk or yogurt, with citrus zest and juice adding a bright, tangy note that complements the poppy seeds. Recipes vary, with some using whole poppy seeds for a light crunch and others grinding them to intensify their flavor
