What’s not to love? They are quick, easy, cheesy & delicious – plus they are gluten free! After chopping the cheese everything goes into the bowl & then poured into a mini muffin tin that has been oiled. Bake for up to 15 mins in a hot oven. Perfect for an after school snack or even a lunchbox snack.
This recipe is a slight variation on a family favourite when we were growing up, also the first job I ever had was helping a lady bake cakes to sell to cafe’s, & we made a version of this (along with the Chocolate Zucchini Cake recipe).
First soak your poppy seeds in the milk ( also if you run out of poppy seeds you can substitute with black sesame seeds if you need too :-))
Next blitz the lemon zest with the sugar, to make a lemon flavoured sugar.
Mix all the cake ingredients together; the time is quick & the speed slower to avoid making the cake to tough & dry.
Another tip from my younger days is if you are not using your homemade butter use the paper that the butter came in instead of baking paper, it’s something my mum always did & she saved the butter papers in the fridge in case we needed to use them for a cake. It’s a great way to save money & time because the paper is already “pre-greased” with some of the leftover butter 🙂
While the cake is cooking you cake make the glaze. If you don’t have whole vanilla beans & you want to use vanilla bean paste that is fine too :-).
When the cake is cooked through poke some holes all around it & pour the glaze over so it soaks into the cake.
I have adapted a Nigella recipe, this is an absolute favourite in our house. you can serve it with Mexican dishes as well. Place a reserved avocado seed into the dip to keep it from going brown, if you wont be serving it straight away. Using freshly milled cumin & coriander seeds makes it even tastier .-)
