I love lemon cake and it's been a long time that I've been wanting to try it but can not find poppy seeds. It was not until I buy in a store bio, I find that, coincidentally, a wide range in the supermarket down home!
As I finally poppy (already tested for pleasure bagels), I jumped at the first opportunity to make a, in this case even a birthday in the office. He was soft as desired, just as it should with lemon crunchy frosting, huumm! I thought it a little more swell, I'll add a little baking soda next time. It was very hot, I immediately put in the refrigerator, essential not to lose the icing on the road..
