Lemon Poppy Seed Cake


1 2/3 cup All purpose flour
1 cup Sugar
3 tbsp Poppy Seeds
1 tbsp baking powder

1 cup yogurt
1/2 cup butter, melted
1/3 cup cooking oil
1/3 cup lemon juice
3 large eggs
1 tbsp finely grated lemon zest

Combine first 4 ingredients in large bowl. Make a well in centre.

Beat next 6 ingredients in medium bowl. Add to well. Stir well. Grease the bottom and sides of a 9" springform pan. Pour batter into pan. Spread evenly. Bake at 350 for about 40-50 min until wooden pick inserted in centre comes out clean.

Top with a lemon glaze:

1/2 cup Icing sugar
enough lemon juice to make a thin syrup
Pour over cake.


I know I know, your probably looking at the picture and wondering where the black flecks of poppy seeds are. Well, I realized after I started to make it I didnt have any poppy seeds. So this time I omitted them. The cake was delicious. Very moist. Everyone really liked it.
