Preparation

  1. 1

    Preheat the Oven

    Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease and flour a 9-inch round cake pan.

    Mix Dry Ingredients

    In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the all-purpose flour, granulated sugar, baking powder, and salt until well combined.

Mixing Wet Ingredients

    Combine Wet Ingredients

    In another bowl, whisk together the milk, eggs, melted butter, and vanilla extract until smooth and well blended.

Combining Mixtures

  1. 4

    Combine Dry and Wet Mixtures

    Pour the wet ingredients into the bowl with the dry ingredients. Gently stir with a spatula until just combined; be careful not to overmix.

  2. 5

    Add Poppy Seeds and Lemon Zest

    Fold in the poppy seeds and lemon zest until evenly distributed throughout the batter.

Baking

  1. 6

    Bake the Cake

    Pour the batter into the prepared cake pan and smooth the top. Bake in the preheated oven for 30-35 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.

    Cool and Serve

    Once baked, remove the cake from the oven and allow it to cool in the pan for 10 minutes. Then, transfer to a wire rack to cool completely. Once cooled, dust the top with powdered sugar before serving.
