Lemon Poppy Seed Cupcake

Lemon poppy seed cake is a delicious homemade cake. The muffin has a pronounced lemon flavor and aroma, and the poppy adds an interesting texture.

Ingredients

• Flour – 100 g + 3 tablespoons (if necessary)
• Corn starch – 100 g
• Sugar – 200 g
• Eggs – 3 pcs.
• Butter – 100 g
• Lemon (juice) – 1 pc.
• Poppy – 4 tbsp
• Baking powder – 1 teaspoon
  *

For glaze:

• Powdered sugar – 100 g
• Water – 1 tbsp

Directions

1. Beat eggs with sugar until whitening and increase in volume, pour in melted and slightly cooled butter. Continue whisking.
2. Squeeze juice from lemon, add juice to whipped mass, add poppy seeds.
3. Combine flour with cornstarch and baking powder, sift through a sieve, add to the whipped mass. Stir well again on low mixer speed. (I added 3 more tablespoons of flour as the lemon was kneaded and the dough was a little thin.)
4. Pour the dough into a mold greased with butter or vegetable oil. Bake lemon cake with poppy seeds for 40 minutes at 180 degrees. Let the cake cool without removing it from the mold.
5. Gradually add water to the icing sugar, stirring vigorously. You should get a thick frosting.
6. Remove the cooled lemon cake from the mold and pour over the icing. Bon Appetit!
