    Preparation Steps

    1

    Preheat your oven to 350°F (180°C). Line a 9-inch (22 cm) cake pan with parchment paper.

    2

    In a large bowl, combine the ground poppy seeds, flour, baking powder, and lemon zest.

    3

    In another bowl, cream together the butter and sugar until light and fluffy. Add the eggs one at a time, beating well after each addition.

    4

    Stir in the vanilla extract, lemon juice, and milk. Gradually fold in the dry ingredients until just combined. Be careful not to overmix.

    5

    Pour the batter into the prepared cake pan and smooth the top.

    6

    Bake for 35-40 minutes, or until a wooden skewer inserted into the center comes out clean.

    7

    Let the cake cool in the pan for 10 minutes, then transfer it to a wire rack to cool completely.

    8

    Before serving, dust with powdered sugar and garnish with lemon slices and poppy seeds.
