I've recently realised another pet hate, apart from badgers in spectacles and guessing games. It's reading people's life stories before they get to the recipe. Ugh. Scrolly scrolly scroll scroll.
So all I'm going to say is: I made cake, and it was nice. It's not too sweet, which suits the loaf style - but definitely sweet enough for me.
Oh, and I dehydrated a heap of limes because - pretty. I wouldn't really EAT them, though they're edible - they're pretty mouth puckering - but they look so good as a cake decoration, don't you agree?
Lemon and Poppy Seed Loaf Cake
1.5 cups self raising flourr
1/4 tsp salt
1/2 cup honey
2 tablespoons poppy seeds
Zest of two small limes
3 tablespoons fresh lemon juice
1/4 cup olive oil
2 large eggs
1 tsp vanilla extract
1/2 cup greek yoghurt
Mix all ingredients together and pour into a lined loaf tin. Bake at 180 degrees for about 40 minutes or until a knife comes out clean.
Sugar Free Lemon Frosting
1/4 cup greek yoghurt
1/4 cup cream cheese
1/4 cup honey
6 tbsps coconut milk powder
Zest of 1 small lemon
1 tsp vanilla extract
Mix, adding more coconut milk powder if needed. You can also just grind some dessicated coconut. It should end up like thick cream. Delish! Alternatively, just mix some yoghurt with a bit of lemon zest and chuck on the cake - so good! I like to put sprinkles of calendula on pretty much anything - @anttn, told you I do this!
As is usual when I bake, my husband had a pleasant suprise to come home to such a treat with a cup of tea. Wife skills, 10/10.
Cake wasn't bad either.
With Love,

Hi River
Oh I'm totally in that club with the pet hate of a million fucking lines of text before the recipe, I've now noticed that some recipes have a "skip to the recipe" button for that exact reason. It just irritates me trying to find the recipe in amongst a whole lot of other stuff.
Your cake looks divine and I would happily help you finish it. I love the lemon and poppy seed combo, I used to make muffins like that.
They aren't even good stories! Always very dull. They'd be much better with zombies or crime perhaps π
That's an opportunity! You should totally write recipes with zombie stories as the precursor, people would love it.
The lemon and poppy brain eater...π€£
This looks sooooo yummy!
It was! Highly recommend...
Oh yeah the toppings designed looks unique and You really got a skills when it comes in preparing foods @riverflows!
Thankyou! I don't bake often so was quite proud of myself!
so that they called talent.. I really need to develop that skills or else, my future children will be mad at me ...haha
Haha!! Never say never!
That looks totally scrumptious. β€οΈππ₯°
It was. HOnestly, I have so many lemons I have to get inventive about what to make!
Lemon meringue pie
Lemon and pinenut pasta
Honey lemon roast potatoes
Lemon herb potatoes
Lemon and garlic green beans
You can never have too many lemons
I totally agree!!! Salted lemons are a staple here too
Lemon and garlic green beans... Yuuuuummmm
This looks so perfect πβ€οΈ
Mmmh ! Itβs seems delicious :) Nice to know that it isnβt too sweet, I cannot eat something saturated in sugar..
Beautiful setup and pictures too, the calendula petals... how to say ? Great and sweet addition <3
Hereβs one sample of our train trip ;-) Nature looks great and protected in a way..!
Oh yeah I'm not a sugar fan...
Looks promising... Nature is waving at you!
Definitely! and it was great for us to formalize a bit more our project, now weβre turning more on a small habitation unit... one easy to make autonomous :)
That sounds delicious and oh, so pretty!! I may have to give that a go this week. The combination of lemon and poppy seed is a fav around my house.
My Dad loves orange and Poppy Seed... I should make another one for him...
lol
I LOVE lemon poppyseed cake! I used to make a really good one myself. Gonna have to dust of my recipe. I'll use your icing recipe though - it sounds sooooo good.
I bought dehydrated limes recently. They were being touted as a garnish for cocktails.
Cocktails!! Now you're talking!
Love the presentation, it makes me drool (^_^)
I never decorate cakes but I had fun doing this one!
Looks yummy. We have been baking lots. Started with Covid lockdown I suppose. But carries on. In California we had a lemon tree that was ridiculously productive. Miss that a bit. I like the way you decorated the cake. Kinda old school feel.
I'm not really a baker. It's a big deal when I make a cake. Kudos to anyone who does! I imagine lemon trees would do well in California... Very similar climate to here..
I'm with you on the life stories not making a good heading for a recipes.
When I have a chance I'm going to try this one
OMG this looks so beautiful and delicious, what a great recipe. The dish looks very beautiful, I will try it at home.

I can say I have never seen ANYTHING like it! MUST TRY!! Thank you! Followed!
Haha great!!!!
I love lemon cake, I reckon I could easily make it vegan. love the dehydrated limes they look great on top and yes for going straight to the recipe xxxxx
Oh yes you can make it vegan no problem - i think it's only the eggsthat are not vegan, but you have to forgive me because they come from happy happy chookies who get very spoilt.
I love anything with poppy seeds! The combination with lemon sounds awesome. You could easily kidnap me with this cake lol.
Hhaha i can see it now, dangling it right in front of you like a carrot...
That sounds so good! And the calendula is a nice touch.
