About Frosted lemon poppyseed cake

Frosted Lemon Poppyseed Cake is a delightful dessert that combines tangy citrus flavors with the subtle crunch of nutty poppyseeds. Rooted in European baking traditions, this cake features a moist, tender crumb created with flour, sugar, butter, eggs, and fresh lemon juice and zest. The poppyseeds add texture and a mild, nutty undertone that complements the bright lemon flavor. It is topped with a sweet, creamy frosting, typically made from powdered sugar, butter, and a splash of lemon juice for balance. While rich in flavor, this cake is high in sugar and fat, making it an indulgent treat best enjoyed in moderation. Poppyseeds offer small amounts of fiber and essential minerals, while lemons provide vitamin C—making the dessert slightly more nutrient-dense than other cakes. Perfect for celebrations or afternoon tea, this cake delivers a harmony of sweetness and zest in every bite.
