\nHow to make lemon poppy seed cake<\/p>\n
You\u2019ll be happy to know you can make this cake from scratch in under an hour. I use a hand mixer to whip up the batter. If you want to pull out the big guns, feel free to use a stand mixer. Follow this step-by-step guide and check the recipe card below for ingredients and detailed instructions.<\/p>\n
Step 1: Preheat the oven to 350\u00b0F. Line a 9 x 9 inch baking pan with parchment paper.<\/p>\n
Step 2: Add the granulated sugar to a large bowl. Use your hands to massage the lemon zest into the sugar for about 20 to 30 seconds. This helps to release the oils from the zest into the sugar which enhances the flavor of the cake once baked.<\/p>\n
Step 3: Add the butter and oil to the bowl. Mix on medium speed until light and fluffy, about 2 minutes. Scrape down the sides of the bowl. <\/p>\n
Step 4: Add the eggs, one at a time, mixing well after each addition.<\/p>\n
Step 5: Add the vanilla and lemon juice. Mix on low speed until incorporated.<\/p>\n
Step 6: In a small bowl, whisk together the flour, baking powder, baking soda, salt and poppy seeds. Add the dry ingredients to the butter and egg mixture in three additions, alternating with the sour cream and milk. Begin and end with the dry ingredients.<\/p>\n
Step 7: Transfer the batter to the prepared pan and use an offset spatula to press the batter evenly into the corners and level the top.<\/p>\n
Step 8: Bake for 30 to 35 minutes or until the top is golden brown and a toothpick inserted into the center of the cake comes out clean or with a few crumbs remaining. If the cake is browning too quickly towards the end of the baking time, loosely cover the top with a large piece of aluminum foil. Remove the cake from the oven and cool completely on a wire rack before adding the glaze.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
