Lemon and Poppy Seed Cake

"This is the kind of cake that can make you hum in delight when eating it. It’s the one-slice-is-never-enough cake. It’s the how-come-there’s-none-left? kind of cake. And it’s easy and quick to whip it up. The amount of lemon zest might scare the fainter-hearted but trust me – that’s what it needs. Too often lemon cake recipes result in nary a whiff of the citrus. Lemon cake must be gutsy, very moist and in addition have that something to stop it from being boring – this one has a crunch of poppy seeds and slightly chewy texture from the oatmeal."
