Preparation Steps

  • Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and grease a cake pan.
  • In a large bowl, whisk together the flour, sugar, baking powder, and salt.
  • In another bowl, mix the eggs, buttermilk, vegetable oil, and lemon zest until combined.
  • Pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients and stir until just combined. Fold in the poppy seeds.
  • Transfer the batter into the prepared pan and smooth the top.
  • Bake for about 45 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted comes out clean.

Notes

This cake pairs wonderfully with fresh berries on the side. For extra flavor, consider adding a dash of vanilla extract.
