Happy Mother's Day to all the mothers, you are amazing. And a big, special mention to my beautiful mum, the most generous, loving and supportive woman. Loryn, Ellen and I are so lucky.
So, to celebrate this Mother's Day, Ellen has created a delicious lemon and poppy seed cake, made without eggs and dairy (but trust me, you cannot tell). It is suuuuuper easy and fuss-free, which is brilliant, as honestly I am a pretty lazy baker. But this is one cake I will be adding to my rotation.
What makes it even easier is that there is no need to line the cake tin, if you have got one of our silicone cake pans. These really are a lifesaver. And you can use them over and over again, no fiddly baking paper and no need to grease, they are naturally non-stick.

Method
Preheat oven to 170°C.
Place lemon rind and sugar in TC bowl, mill 30 sec / speed 9. Scrape down sides.
Add lemon juice, flour, baking powder, salt, poppy seeds, mylk and oil, mix 15 sec / speed 3. Scrape down sides and fold any remaining flour in using a Thermo Spoon Spatula.
