Sugar-free lemon cake with poppy seeds and mascarpone frosting
If you're looking for a delightful dessert that combines the zesty freshness of lemons, the crunch of poppyseeds, and the richness of mascarpone cheese, you're in for a treat! Our Lemon Poppyseed Mascarpone Loaf Cake is a perfect blend of flavours and textures.
The key players in this cake are lemons and poppy seeds. Lemons add a fresh and zesty kick, making the cake lively. Paired with lemons, poppy seeds provide a nice crunch and a nutty flavour, creating a delicious combo.
What sets this loaf cake apart is the absence of refined sugar. Instead, it uses a natural sweetener - honey. This keeps the cake sweet and satisfying without loading it with refined sugar.
The result is a moist and dense texture that works well with the lemony and nutty elements.
Creating a sugar-free treat needs careful balancing of flavours, and this loaf cake does it well. The tartness of lemons is balanced with honey, creating a tasty mix. The poppy seeds add a subtle earthy touch, making each bite a blend of sweet, tangy, and nutty goodness.
This cake isn't just for dessert. It can be a delicious breakfast or a satisfying snack. Pair it with tea or coffee for a perfect afternoon treat. Since it doesn't have refined sugars, it won't cause energy spikes and crashes, making it a good choice for steady energy throughout the day.
This lemon cake frosting could not be any easier. I just used mascarpone, lemon juice and honey, keeping the flavours simple.
I need to improve my cake icing skills, but until then I went for a rustic look, just spreading it on with a knife.
