Method

1

Soak the poppy seeds in warm water beforehand.

2

Beat the butter with the sugar and lemon zest until light and fluffy (about 4 to 5 minutes).

3

Add the eggs one at a time, beating thoroughly after each addition.

4

Stir in the lemon juice.

5

Sift together the flour, baking powder, and salt. Fold in the drained poppy seeds. Quickly mix the batter with a spatula.

6

Transfer the batter into a greased loaf pan lined with parchment paper. Bake in a preheated oven at 180°C (350°F) for about 40 to 50 minutes. Check for doneness with a toothpick.

7

For the syrup: combine water, sugar, and lemon juice in a small saucepan. Bring to a boil to dissolve the sugar, and let simmer for 1 minute.

8

Poke holes into the hot cake right in the pan using a toothpick and evenly drizzle with the warm syrup.
