One of the common cakes over here is the lemon drizzle cake and my first taste of it was from the sandwich chain store Pret-a-Manger. I grew to like it and would give myself a lunch time treat once in a while whenever I have a craving for cakes. Recently Jos who is also into baking, have mastered making this simple but refreshing lemon cake.
See those small black dots? They are actually poppy seeds. Somehow lemon cakes and poppy seeds go together. These seeds doesn't have much taste but it gives the cake a somewhat-crunchy texture to it if you get what I mean.
Right, so Jos was really happy and started uploading photos of her end-product on FB, declaring to everyone she would bake this for them when she goes home. (Of course she should because they taste really good.) And then guess what? She found out that poppy seeds are banned in Singapore!! They are considered drugs hahaha so now she is disappointed she can't showcase her work back home. Well, I consider myself lucky then :)
(Hmm maybe I might get high tonight after finishing that huge slice and the generous amount of poppy seeds she used in the cake?)
