Tips and Tricks
Substitutions
Milk: Use almond or oat milk instead of soy milk if you prefer or need to tailor to specific dietary needs.
Maple Syrup: Agave syrup is a fantastic alternative.
How To
Lemon Zest: For the best lemon flavor, grate only the outer yellow skin, steering clear of the bitter white pith.
Toasted Poppy Seeds: Lightly toast the poppy seeds on a dry pan to unlock a richer, nuttier flavor.
Storage
Keep the cake fresh by storing it in a sealed container at room temperature for 3-4 days.
