Ingredients
- 200gr self-raising flour
- 1/2 tsp baking powder
- 2 large eggs
- 100gr sugar
- a pinch of salt
- 100gr butter
- 150ml drinking Kefir
- 2 tbsp poppy seeds
- 1 tsp vanilla extract
- zest and juice of one organic lemon
- For the glaze:
- 1 tbs lemon juice
- 1 tsp caster sugar
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 180Β°C. Grease a bundt pan (only if itβs not silicon).
- Sift the flour and baking powder into a bowl.
- In a large mixing bowl, whisk the eggs, sugar, salt and butter until light and fluffy. Add the kefir, lemon zest & juice and mix. Add the flour while mixing gently. Fold in the poppy seeds and combine. The batter should be smooth and not too thick.
- Spread the batter evenly into the pan.
- Bake the cake for about 40 minutes in the middle of the oven or until a skewer inserted in the centre comes out clean. (If the cake looks already golden after 20 minutes, cover the top loosely with aluminium foil)
- Let the cake cool for 5 minutes in the tin, then turn it out onto a wire rack.
- While the cake is cooling down, prepare the glaze by combining the lemon juice and caster sugar. Drizzle the mixture over the warm cake.
- When the cake has completely cooled down, (but the glaze is still sticky), sprinkle the top with more caster sugar.
