Lemon cake with poppy seeds and turmeric

Step-by-step preparation

Cooking time: 1 hr

1. STEP 1

   

   How to make lemon poppy seed and turmeric cake? Measure out the required ingredients. The butter should be softened, so remove it from the refrigerator in advance.

2. STEP 2

   

   Mix flour with baking powder and turmeric and sift through a sieve. Oxygenated flour will help the cake rise more easily when baked.

3. STEP 3

   

   Wash the lemon well with a brush and dry thoroughly. Remove the zest from the lemon (the top thin layer) and squeeze out the juice. I got 50 ml of lemon juice.

4. STEP 4

   

   Combine soft butter with sugar and salt.

5. STEP 5

   

   Beat everything with a mixer until a fluffy mass is formed.

6. STEP 6

   

   Beat the eggs into the butter mixture, one at a time, beating well after each. Add the next egg only after the previous one has completely mixed into the total mass.

7. STEP 7

   

   Add lemon juice and zest to the dough and stir.

8. STEP 8

   

   Add dry poppy seeds and mix again.

9. STEP 9

   

   Add flour sifted with baking powder and turmeric.

10. STEP 10

    

    Mix everything thoroughly until the lumps of flour disappear. The result is a homogeneous, thick dough. It will turn yellow.

11. STEP 11

    

    Place the dough in a baking dish and smooth it out.

12. STEP 12

    

    Bake the lemon poppy seed and turmeric cake in an oven preheated to 180C for about 40 minutes. Check readiness with a skewer. If it comes out dry from the middle of the cake, the cake is ready. Determine the baking time and mode based on the operating characteristics of your oven. If the cake is browned but the inside is not quite ready, cover the top with foil. Cool the finished baked goods slightly and remove from the pan.

13. STEP 13

    

    Before serving, you can sprinkle the cake with powdered sugar. Bon appetit!

I saw this cupcake on my feed and immediately decided that I would definitely bake it. It’s so beautiful and bright, I want to try it right away) The dough I got was quite thick, creamy in consistency, very pleasantly airy. I was pleased with the presence of lemon in the composition; I love lemon baked goods. The finished cupcake came out so beautiful! He is yellow, bright as the sun. Poppy seeds and lemon zest complement aromatic baked goods very well. The cake itself is airy, porous, and light. The inside is soft and the crust is crispy. The taste of lemon is clearly felt, the citrus aroma is also strong. I didn’t taste turmeric, but it gives an amazing color! I will definitely bake this cake many more times, I recommend it to everyone. Such elegant pastries can be served to guests for tea. Thanks for the recipe!

I baked the cupcake without poppy seeds, because its absence was discovered, as always, at the very last moment. Anyway, the cupcake turned out very bright and delicious! Next time I will definitely add poppy seeds)))
