Lemons are actually one of the fruits that end up getting thrown in the food waste, with lots of recipes only needing a squeeze, slice or zest. This recipe is perfect for utilising all of the lemon, plus a few store cupboard stapes that we hope you have to hand to give a go yourself
Method
Preheat oven to 180 degrees and line a loaf tin
Put the poppy seeds and warm almond milk in a bowl and set to the side for five minutes
Combine flour, sugar and lemon zest in one bowl and add the coconut oil, lemon juice and natural yog to the poppy seed/almond milk mixture and stir before pouring into the flour and sugar, mix until all combined
Place mixture in tin and bake for 30-35 minutes until knife comes out of cake totally clean, leave to cool completely
While the cake is cooling, mix the frosting together and place in fridge to firm up
Frost and decorate the cake before slicing and eating
