A birthday is a great excuse for me to get baking (although simply bringing in baked goods for my colleagues seems to be too at the moment!) For Louise and Mike's birthday I decided to bake a lemon and poppy seed cake, adapted from this Mary Berry recipe. I simply added the poppy seeds and a squeeze of lemon juice. The decoration was inspired by the Lovecrumbs Bakery in Edinburgh which I came across this week. Their flavour combinations sound magical and visually the cakes are beautiful. If ever I'm up in Edinburgh I'll be sure to go.
Back to the birthday cake, it went down a treat so I think this is a recipe to be replicated again and again!
This looks delicious! Thank you so much for including a link to my original post :-)
ReplyDeleteNo problem at all, thank you for posting such a great recipe from Mary herself!
