Confessions of a City Slicker

Got a pleasant surprise during choir practice yesterday.  This beautiful lemon poppy seed cake courtesy of The5XMom.  She even included those cute little heart shaped toppings.  There is a light layer of icing sugar, although it has absorved the oil from the cake by the time I got it, so you can’t see it.

Those who know about her and her blog will know what a terrific chef she is.  I even pimped some of her recipes to experiment with.

I love the poppy seeds in the cake.  They make the cake all the more crunchy.  I love the feeling of the poppy seeds exploding when being crushed by my teeth

There are also crushed almonds in there which add to the fragrance and I absolutely love the smell of the citrusy orange.

Thanks, Lillian!
