Lemon Poppy Seed Cake : Low Carb : Vegan
Time to say thank you - it's lovely to receive, read and share the many comments that we get on this blog. One came in recently from David Gascoigne, it was on the 'Low Carb Flours and Some Low Carb Cake Ideas' post here, this is what he said "My wife is the baker in the family and she makes a first rate lemon poppy seed cake, which goes well with mid morning coffee. I will pass these recipes on to her and see what she thinks." Well David, I do hope she liked them. However, I thought there must be a low carb version of lemon poppy seed cake - and there is - in fact this one is low carb and vegan!

Poppy seeds "are the tiny, edible blue-grey or ivory-coloured seeds of the poppy flower. The former are more common in European cookery; and the latter in Indian cuisine. Although the poppy is the source of opium, its seeds lose their narcotic characteristics as they ripen.
Buyer's guide:
White poppy seeds are not widely available, but you will find them in Indian grocers.
Storage:
Storage:
Store in an airtight container in the refrigerator to prevent them from becoming rancid.
Preparation:
Because they’re so small and have a tendency to stick together, poppy seeds are often dry-roasted, or soaked and ground before use to make them easier to handle. In Central and Eastern Europe, they are sprinkled onto cakes, breads, biscuits and bagels, and added to potato, egg, pasta, cream and cheese dishes. In India, they are used as a spice or as a thickener in curries."
