Lemon poppy seed cake — the look promises the taste. A truly delicious cake.

1 whole lemon or orange with peel 3 eggs 70 ml vegetable oil 130 g sugar 250 g flour 1 1/2 tsp baking powder

1/4 tsp salt

1/2 tsp baking soda 1 tsp poppy seeds

Wash the lemon well and cut it (including the peel) into pieces.
In a blender (cocktail blender), combine the eggs, oil, lemon pieces and sugar and blend until smooth; pour into a bowl.
In another bowl mix the flour, baking powder, baking soda and salt.
Add the dry ingredients to the wet mixture gradually in batches, mixing without overworking.
Add the poppy seeds and stir until the batter is uniform.
Pour the batter into a greased and floured pan or mold.
Bake in a preheated oven at 170°C for about 40 minutes or until the cake is done.

Note: Poppy seeds are optional — omit them if you prefer a plain lemon cake.
