I made this recipe yesterday and it was delicious. Half the cake was gone within 10 minutes of it coming out of the oven! I decided it needed some kind of icing so I used a buttercream icing with a small amount of orange juice added for flavour. Poppy seeds on the top to decorate. Enjoy!
2 tablespoons poppy seeds
1/2 cup skim milk
1 1/2 cups wholemeal self raising flour
3/4 teaspoon baking powder
1 cup caster sugar
45g butter, melted
3 eggs, lightly beaten
1 tablespoon grated orange rind
1/3 cup orange juice
Grease a 14cmx21cm loaf pan and line base with baking paper.
Combine poppy seeds and milk in a bowl and stand for 15 minutes.
Sift flour and baking powder into a bowl, then stir in sugar. Make a well in the centre of dry ingredients, add milk and poppy seeds mixture, melted butter, eggs, orange rind and juice. Stir with a wooden spoon until ingredients are combined.
Spread mixture into prepared pan. Bake in a 180C preheated oven for 45 minutes or until cake is cooked when tested with a skewer. Stand cake in pan for 5 minutes before turning out onto a wire rack.
