Meyer Lemon Poppy Seed Cake

Serves: 10

Print this Recipe

Meyer lemons don’t taste like lemons. Their flavor is closer to tangerine, with a lot of the same brightness as lime about them. This cake is similar to a lemon poppy seed cake, but more subtle and perfumed. Feel free to substitute another citrus juice if you can’t find Meyer lemons.


   No-stick spray oil
   3 meyer lemons, or regular lemons or limes
   1 (16-ounce) box pound cake mix
   2 tablespoons poppy seeds
   2 eggs, large or extra-large
   1 recipe Fruited Dulce De Leche for serving (optional)


Heat the oven to 350°F. Coat the interior of an 8- by 4- by 2 1/2-inch loaf pan with cooking spray.

Grate the zest (the colored skin) from the lemons with a fine grater. Squeeze the juice from the lemons and add enough water to make 3/4 cup.

Combine the cake mix, lemon zest, lemon juice, poppy seeds, and eggs in a large bowl, and beat by hand for about 4 minutes or with an electric mixer for 3 minutes, until the batter is silky, thick, and smooth. Pour into the prepared pan and bake until a tester inserted in the crack comes out clean, 45 to 50 minutes. Cool in the pan for at least 10 minutes; remove from the pan and cool on a rack to room temperature. Slice and serve with Fruited Dulce de Leche, if desired.
