Kathleen's Lemon and Poppyseed Cake


I am exceedingly lucky to have sampled a lot of good home-made cake recently.  This one however stands out in particular as being quite different to any lemon cake I'd sampled before.

Not overly sticky and almost savoury from the poppy seeds, Kathleen's square cake of joy was intensely lemony and tangy in flavour, and as light and moist as you would ever want cake to be.
