How to Make Best Lemon Poppy Seed Cake
- Zest the Lemons Properly: When zesting lemons, use a microplane or a fine grater to get the zest. Avoid grating too deeply, as the white pith underneath can be bitter.
- Room Temperature Ingredients: Ensure that ingredients like eggs and butter are at room temperature before you start mixing the batter. This helps the batter to emulsify better and results in a smoother cake texture.
- Don't Overmix: Overmixing can lead to a dense and tough cake. Mix the ingredients until just combined to keep the cake tender and fluffy.
- Baking Time: Keep an eye on the baking time, as ovens can vary. Start checking the cake a few minutes before the suggested time to avoid overbaking.
- Lemon Glaze or Icing: The lemon glaze or icing is optional but adds an extra burst of lemon flavor and sweetness. If you prefer a less sweet cake, you can skip this step.
- Storage: Once the cake has cooled completely, store it in an airtight container at room temperature or in the refrigerator, depending on your preference. It should stay fresh for a few days.
