Lime and poppy seed drizzle cake

Posted by Bake Club on Tuesday, April 30, 2019, In : big cakes

Dry ingredients:

1/2 c non-dairy milk
1/2 c water
1 3/4 c flour (I used a mix of white and wholemeal spelt)

3/4 tsp baking soda
1/2 c lukewarm water

9 or 10cm egg/crumpet rings

Heat milk and water in a cup until lukewarm. Add yeast and sugar and mix. Leave for 10 minutes until frothy....
