Lemon Poppyseed Cake?

Anyone have a recipe for lemon poppyseed cake, or one that could be easily adapted to become lemon poppyseed cake?

I found only one recipe by searching on google and it required tofu (I don't eat soy)

Thanks

My mother makes a fantastic lemon sponge cake that's gluten-free, the recipie is on the back of the potato starch box i think. If you can't find it, or don't find a recipie that works, let me know and I'll get it from her.

I don't have a recipe but this is a really good (gluten, dairy and soy-free) mix:

It's muffins, but I'm wondering if it could somehow be made into a cake :unsure:. The same company also makes a plain lemon cake mix.

Mango - Thanks for the tip. I want to make it from scratch, though.

Stronger - Which brand of potato starch? The kind I have at home is Japanese, though I usually use Manischewitz. I bet I could add poppy seeds to a sponge cake.

I'm starting to think I'd probably be best off just finding a gluten-free pound cake recipe and adding lemon juice, lemon zest, and poppy seeds.

i would suggest searching recipe sites like epicurious.com and allrecipes.com

maybe even taking a regular gluten-free cake recipe and adding the stuff like you suggested

i know i made a really good lemon poppyseed bread awhile back, but i can't find the recipe :(

good luck and let us know how it turns out!

Here's the recipe from Rebecca Reilly's Gluten Free Baking cookbook:

Lemon Poppy seed bread (makes 2 (9x5) loaves

1c milk

3/4c poppy seeds

2-3/4c basic gluten-free mix (it looks like you can use any gluten-free flour substitute here, without xanthan gum already in it)

1/2c almond flour

1T baking powder

3/4t xanthan gum

1/8t salt

2 sticks unsalted butter

1-1/3c packed brown sugar

3 eggs

1/2t vanilla extract

grated zest of 2 lemons

Preheat oven to 350F. Lightly grease 2 9x5 loaf pans and line with parchment paper (you could also make muffins in paper cups instead).

Heat the milk and add the poppy seeds. Let cool until just warm.

Mix together the gluten-free mix, almond flour, baking powder, xanthan gum, and salt.

Cream the butter until white. Add the brown sugar and beat until fluffy, about 5 minutes. Add the eggs one at a time. Add the dry ingredients in 2 parts, alternating with the poppy seed and milk mixture. Stir in the vanilla and lemon zest.

Spoon the batter into the prepared loaf pans. Bake for 40 minutes or until done; the top should spring back when pressed gently. The muffins will take 15 to 18 minutes to bake.

Mmmm. E-mail me a slice when it's done. :P

Okay . .. here it is:

Almond Poppyseed Cake with Lemon Glaze

2 1/2 c. featherlight mix

1/2 c. gluten-free mix (recipes for these flour mixes are at the bottom)

2 tsp. xanthan gum

1 1/2 tsp. salt

1 1/2 tsp baking powder

3 eggs

1 1 /2 c. milk

1/2 c. oil

2 1/4 c. sugar

1 1/2 Tbs. poppy seeds

1 1/2 tsp almond extract

1 1/2 tsp vanilla

Combine all ingredients. Beat well for 2 minutes. Pour into 2 large greased loaf pans or 1 greased 9 x 13 pan. Bake at 350 degrees. Loaf pans need to bake for about 1 hour, a cake pan needs to bake for 30 - 40 minutes. Cool 10 minutes, then remove from pans. Mix glaze and spoon on top of bread. (If you don't want to take the cake out of the pan, poke lots of small holes in the top of the cake, then sppon the glaze on top. The holes allow the glaze to penetrate the cake.)

Glaze

1/2 tsp. almond extract

1/2 tsp vanilla

3/4 c. powdered sugar

2 Tbs. lemon juice

up to 2 Tbs. water

Combine extract, vanilla, lemon juice, and powdered sugar. Add water until the glaze reaches the consistency you want. (If you want, you can use 4 Tbs of lemon juice, but I find that a little strong. You could also use 4 Tbs. of orange juice in place of the lemon juice.)

Featherlight mix (Bette Hagman's recipe)

1 c. rice flour

1 c. cornstarch

1 c. tapioca starch

1 TBS. potato flour (NOT potato starch)

gluten-free mix (Bette Hagman's recipe)

6 c. rice flour

2 c. potato starch (NOT potato flour)

1 c. tapioca starch

We like the kinnkinnik cake mixes. I would add the lemon and poppy seed to that. I have used the white cake mix to make an orange flavored cake with chocolate frosting. it was very good.

I used their pancake mix recently and added baked pumpkin to it for pumpkin pancakes. They were so good.

hineini Enthusiast

Heh heh - It's true! I can make them all. Especially now that I bought a big old bottle of poppyseeds. Sweet! (Literally)

      Good luck to you.  I would not get past that first slice of bread.  I would be vomiting and have diarrhea within 30 minutes and it would continue for hours and I would feel like I was hit by a truck for days.  My functional medicine doctor told me to stop taking Calcium and to significantly up my Vitamin D, add K2, lots of Magnesium, some boron and collagen.  This was all recommended after taking the Spectracell test for nutrient deficiencies.  Started doing this at 54 when diagnosed and at 72 no issues with the old bones.

      I live in Ottawa Canada and would be interested in a swap with someone who also has a gluten-free house. I’d love to swap out in winter for somewhere warm.

      @KRipple, thank you for the lab results from your husband's celiac disease blood antibody testing. The lab result you share would seem to be the tTG-IGA (Tissue Transglutaminase IGA) and the test result is in excess of 10x normal. This is significant as there is an increasing tendency for physicians to grant a celiac disease diagnosis on the basis of antibody testing alone when the scores on that particular test exceed 10x normal. This trend started in the UK during the COVID pandemic when there was tremendous pressure on the medical system over there and it has spread to the USA. The tTG-IGA is the centerpiece of celiac disease blood antibody testing. All this to say that some doctors would grant a celiac disease diagnosis on your husband's bloodwork alone and not feel a need to go forward with an endoscopy with biopsy. This is something you and your husband might wish to take up with his physicians. In view of his many health issues it might be wise to avoid any further damage to his small bowel lining by the continuing consumption of gluten and also to allow healing of such to progress. The lining of the small bowel is the place where essentially all of our nutrition is absorbed. This is why celiac disease when it is not addressed with a gluten free diet for many years typically results in additional health problems that are tied to nutritional deficiencies. The millions and millions of tiny finger-like projections that make up the nutrient absorbing surface of the small bowel lining are worn down by the constant inflammation from gluten consumption. In celiac disease, the immune system has been tricked into labeling gluten as an invader. As these finger-like projections are worn down, the efficiency of nutrient absorption becomes more and more compromised. We call this villous atrophy.

      Thank you so much! And sorry for not responding sooner. I've been scouring the hospital records and can find nothing other than the following results (no lab info provided): Component Transglutaminase IgA   Normal Range: 0 - 15.0 U/mL >250.0 U/mL High   We live in Olympia, WA and I will be calling University of Washington Hospital - Roosevelt in Seattle first thing tomorrow. They seem to be the most knowledgeable about complex endocrine issues like APS 2 (and perhaps the dynamics of how APS 2 and Celiacs can affect each other). His diarrhea has not abated even without eating gluten, but that could be a presentation of either Celiac's or Addison's. So complicated. We don't have a date for endoscopy yet. I will let my husband know about resuming gluten.    Again, thank you so much for sharing your knowledge with me!
