Honestly, I think, this flavor combination is quite popular at the moment - I saw lemon poppy seed cupcakes, cookies, cakes, and many more. But I love a versatile flavor combo that is so perfect for spring and summer. Which ingredients do we need for the lemon poppy seed cake? I use some basic ingredients for this cake, nothing fancy- so you probably have everything at home. Like I said in the beginning, this cake is yogurt-based so we need yogurt. I am using a non-sweetened plain white yogurt with 3,8% fat. I haven't tried it with other yogurts, so I ...
