Lemon Poppy Seed Cake
But none of those colourful and insane cakes.
Lemon poppy seed is a versatile moist cake that is great for tea/coffee.
I found a recipe online and *tic tic* 1 hours later TADAAAAaaaaa
The cake is moist, you can taste the lemon and the poppy seeds are crunchy. It's great :)
Want to make this?
Here is how!
Ingredients:
- 1cup butter, softened
- 2cups brown sugar
- 4 eggs
- 2.5 cups all-purpose flour
- 6tbsp poppy seeds
- 2 tbsp grated lemon zest
- 2 tsp baking powder
- 1/2 tsp salt
- 1 cup 1% milk
1- Fluff the butter with the sugar. Incorporate an egg at the time.
2- Grate the lemon peel finely
3- In another bowl mix the flour, the poppy seeds, the lemon, the baking powder and the salt.
4- Incorporate the dry mix into the egg mixture, alternating with the milk.
5- Pour into molds and cook at 350 degrees until ready (when you insert a toothpick in the center and it comes out clean)
So while the cake is cooking, you should definitely make the syrup, that will go on top of the cake. It will add lemon and moisture to the cake.
Here is how:
1- Mix 1 cup of sugar, 1 cup of lemon juice and 3 tbsp of grated lemon peel in a pan.

Cookie Sandwiches: The Magical World of Sprinkles
Who likes cake mix? No one. Cake mix sucks. It's boring. And spongy and dry.
Of course, yeah, you can modify the recipe and stuff....
But it boils down to the same thing: You make a cake. It can be square, it can be round or rolled up. It's still a cake :D
I wanted to experiment in making cookies with cake mix.
So I made these cookie sandwiches, from the recipe I found on the website "The Joy of Comfort Food"
Recipe:
- 1 box cake mix
- 1/2 cup shortening (or butter)
- 1 egg
Protocol:
1- Mix
2- Roll into balls and flatten on a cookie sheet.
3- Pop in the oven (350 degrees) until ready.
4- Let cool
5- Assemble
Now for the assembly;
I decided to use up a pack of Cream Cheese I had in my fridge. To add taste, I added 2-3 tablespoons of Raspberry Jam.
No sugar, there is enough sugar in the jam :)
Then all you need to do is find two cookies of roughly the same size:
Aaaaaaand finished :D
Here is a bonus artsy shot of the food. Cause obviously I'm such a fantastic photographer (NOT!).
