Orange-poppy seed cake from Snacking Cakes: Simple Treats for Anytime Cravings (page 57) by Yossy Arefi

Where’s the full recipe - why can I only see the ingredients?

Always check the publication for a full list of ingredients. An Eat Your Books index lists the main ingredients and does not include 'store-cupboard ingredients' (salt, pepper, oil, flour, etc.) - unless called for in significant quantity.

    I added a tsp of cardamom to the batter and topped with rose petal whipped cream (1 C heavy cream, 1 tsp. Damask rose petal powders 2 tsp. confectioner’s sugar) instead of glaze. I would have liked both the orange flavor and the cardamom flavor amped up a bit more.

    Used zest and juice (1/4 cups worth) from two regular lemons. Used last dregs of sour cream to use up an almost finished carton, rest was stonybrook whole milk strawberry yogurt. No glaze, nice lemon flavor, nice texture!

    The children loved it, but the adults thought it was a bit boring. The cake part isn't very flavorful, though the glaze is good.

    Loved it! I did orange glaze rather than the raspberry.
