Lemon Yogurt Cake
Comments & Modifications:
- Technically the recipe is for Lemon Blueberry Cake, but it says right there in the description that the cake could be modified any number of different ways. That's why I'm posting it here as Lemon Poppy Seed Muffins.
- I used lemon flavored Dannon yogurt instead of plain. It tasted okay, but next time it would be better to find a naturally-flavored and naturally-sweetened variety. I'm not sure what baking might do to that unnatural stuff.
- I bet I could make my own lemon yogurt by mixing some lemon juice into plain . . . better try that next time.
- Three large eggs were sufficient; no need to get into partial eggs to convert extra-large to large.
- Of course, I left out the blueberries and added poppy seeds instead.
- I tried doing the glaze, but had a hard time getting it to sink in, even with holes poked into the tops. It made a nice mess on my counter. Next time I would add more lemon flavor to the muffin (via juice or zest) and skip the glaze.
Verdict: After several failures with lemon poppy seed muffins, this one finally got it right. Good texture, strong lemon flavor, they were delicious.
