Lemon & Poppyseed Sheet Cake
ᛎ Jump to recipe
As a little girl I would go to the shops with mum and we would almost every time get a lemon and poppyseed muffin from muffin break. It really brings back amazing memories. So whilst I have been creating all these different sheet cake flavours, this combo has been on my mind from day dot. I hope you love this as much as I love my muffin memories.
Ingredients:
Cake:
-
225 grams unsalted butter
-
1 1/2 cups caster sugar
-
2 tablespoons lemon zest
-
3 eggs, room temperature
-
1 teaspoon vanilla bean paste
-
3 cups plain all purpose flour
-
3 teaspoons baking powder
-
1/2 teaspoon salt
-
1/2 cup poppyseeds
-
1 cup whole milk, room temperature
-
1/4 cup lemon juice
Icing:
-
225 grams unsalted butter
-
2 1/2 cups icing sugar, sifted
-
60mls lemon juice
-
1/4 cup poppyseeds
Method:
- Pre heat oven at 180 degrees fan forced. Grease a 9 X 12 inch sheet pan with baking spray and line with baking paper.
- In a stand mixer with paddle attachment and cream butter, sugar and lemon zest for 2-3 minutes, until pale and fluffy.
- Add the vanilla beans, and add in the eggs, one at a time, until combined.
- Sift flour, baking powder and salt in a seperate bowl. Add to stand mixer and combine on low speed just until combined, do not over beat. Fold in poppyseeds.
- Combine milk and lemon juice in a measuring cup. Drizzle into stand mixer on low speed until incorporated into batter.
- Pour batter into lined sheet pan and bake uncovered for 30-35 minutes until skewer comes out clean with no wet batter clinging onto it.
- Allow sheet cake too cool completely on a wire rack prior to icing.
- To make the icing, place butter, icing sugar and lemon juice in a stand mixer with whisk attachment. Whip for approximately 3-4 minutes on medium speed, or until smooth and creamy.
- Add poppyseeds and whisk for a further 1 minute on low speed or until incorporated.
Ice sheet cake with a spatula and cut into desired slices.
Tips and Substitions:
- Keep covered in an airtight container in the fridge for 3-4 days. Not that it will last that long.
- This cake freezes well for up to 3 months. Cover or package well and thaw in the fridge overnight when wanting to consume.
- Easily replace lemon with orange if you prefer that combo.
