    Preparation Steps

    1

    Preheat your oven to 350°F (180°C). Grease and flour a 9-inch (22 cm) cake pan.

    2

    In a medium bowl, whisk together the flour, baking powder, and poppy seeds.

    3

    In a separate large bowl, cream together the eggs and sugar until light and fluffy. Beat in the melted butter, lemon juice, and lemon zest.

    4

    Gradually sift the dry ingredients into the wet ingredients, gently folding until just combined. Stir in the milk until the batter is smooth.

    5

    Pour the batter into the prepared cake pan and bake for 30-35 minutes, or until a wooden skewer inserted into the center comes out clean.

    6

    Let the cake cool completely in the pan before slicing in half horizontally. Fill with a lemon cream made from a mixture of mascarpone cheese and powdered sugar.

    7

    Decorate the top of the cake with lemon slices and poppy seeds. Refrigerate the cake for at least 1 hour before serving.
