Poppy seed cake

I just love poppy seeds and this recipe combines them with my other favourite, lime! Those lovely little blue dots and green bits in the cake make it cute. To make it more festive, you could glaze it with cream cheese-icing sugar-citrus juice or try substituting cheese with Greek yoghurt.

200 g butter
2 dl sugar
3 eggs
2 tsp baking powder
3 dl flour
2 tbs poppy seeds
1 tbs vanilla extract
grated lime/lemon/orange zest and 2 tbs juice

Beat the butter and sugar, add eggs one at a time. Then add baking powder mixed with flour and poppy seeds, vanilla and citrus.

Bake in a greased and floured cake tin at 175 for about 50 minutes.
