lemon and poppy seed cake

Inspired by one of my favorite cookbook (the hummingbird bakery cookbook) I decided to try a new recipe that I personally love: lemon and poppy seed cake so i'm gonna share my recipe with you guys
for the cake:
85 g unsalted butter
245 g caster sugar
grated zest of 1 1/2 lemons
15 g poppy seed ( plus extra to decorate)
165 skimmed milk ( much better than whole:P)
235 g plain flour
2 tsp baking powder
1/2 tsp salt
2 egg whites


For the lemon syrup:
freshly squeezed juice and zest of 1 lemon
50 g caster sugar

When the hot cake comes out of the oven, pour the syrup all over the top

For the lemon glaze:
freshly squeezed juice of 1 lemon
250 g icing sugar

you can use any decoration i just opted for marzipan flour

You can now dig in and feel the incredible taste it gives
