Poppy Seed here, Poppy Seed there, on every American blog there is some Poppy Seed Cake , Muffins , Raw Cake or Cake Pops. Somehow I think Poppy Seed Cakes are pretty darn delicious, too, and they always remind me of the great time I had in Hawaii when I did my semester abroad there (for which I’m still paying back Bafög). It was really the perfect semester on this unbelievably beautiful island, or who complains when they get to live in Waikiki and go surfing every day? For me, it only had two small downsides, because I didn’t want to go back and I got really fat. Despite a daily sports workload with running, surfing and other activities, I had really put on fat and nothing fit me anymore. The very worst part was that I didn’t even realize how fat I was getting. After all, I never had pants and always only bikinis and skirts on. Ok, but let’s just get back to the basics, our vegan Poppy Seed Cake!
Vegan Poppy Seed Vibes
I can still remember when I baked my first vegan cake baked. Back then, I used to give my dad (the toughest critic) a piece and wait for his feedback. Hm, yes, but it could be a bit fluffier, a gscheiter Batzn. In high German that means something like nice try, but now bring me something really tasty. In the meantime I have got the hang of the Baking and I’m happy when I get praise even from my critical father.
The poppy seed lemon cake comes with a few ingredients. Almond milk , baking oil, lemon juice, spelt flour (I use 50% light flour and 50% whole wheat flour), raw cane sugar, poppy seeds, baking soda, lemon zest and a pinch of sea salt. If you like, make a delicious icing on top with powdered sugar, lemon juice and lemon zest.
Vegan and mother-in-law suitable, is that possible?
Good question, isn’t it? I would say definitely! For me, mother-in-law-friendly means that this cake Cake tastes good to everyone and there is almost no difference to a classic cake with milk and egg. To me personally that is also not so important, but on various family celebrations one wants to indicate nevertheless also times, how madly one can bake vegan. Fluffy, lemony and simply delicious. With this pastry, you’ll definitely be the star at any family gathering.
Perfect with almost any hot beverage, such as. Chai Latte , Golden milk or simply a classic cup of coffee. If the icing is still not enough, you can serve another portion of Coconut cream to serve with it.
Let’s get started with this moist poppy seed lemon cake. I hope you enjoy baking and of course about a review at the bottom of this page. If you post a picture, use the hashtag #veganevibes.
