About Orange and poppy seed cake

Orange and Poppy Seed Cake is a delightful dessert with roots in European baking traditions, often associated with citrus-growing regions like the Mediterranean. This moist and flavorful treat features a blend of freshly squeezed orange juice, orange zest, and crunchy poppy seeds, creating a balance of sweet and tangy flavors. Common ingredients include flour, sugar, eggs, butter, and sometimes yogurt or almond meal for added richness. While its citrus content provides a dose of vitamin C and antioxidants, the cake is typically high in sugar and calories, making moderation key. Poppy seeds contribute trace minerals such as calcium and magnesium, offering a subtle nutritional boost. Popular as a tea time snack or special occasion dessert, this cake is a satisfying indulgence for citrus lovers.
