Recipe: Lemon Poppyseed Cake
Dessert Recipes, Snack and Appetizer Recipes
We love lemon poppyseed muffins/cake/bread, but we don’t love when it’s loaded with white flour and sugar. This healthy version is made with whole wheat flour and less sugar than most, plus the addition of coconut oil and vanilla yogurt makes it extra moist and delicious. Our favorite way to serve it? In this simple, yet elegant Lemon Berry Trifle!
