MY PERFECT LEMON POPPY SEED CAKE + CAKE CRUMBLE LEMON CREAM POPSICLE

[ezcol_1fifth]  [/ezcol_1fifth] [ezcol_3fifth] INSIDE EACH GOLDEN SLICES OF THIS SPIRIT-LIFTING CAKE, IS A PIECE OF MY OWN HEAVEN. AND IF I MUST BE NITPICKING FOR A FAULT, WELL, TO THAT I HAVE A SOLUTION, TOO. I wasn't really contemplating on a cake recipe.  I always feel a little self-doubt every time I throw one out there, after all, I have about as much credentials on cakes and baking as a dog on dating advice.  But over the last week, I wanted to bake a lemon poppy seed cake for a couple of friends coming over for coffee, and to my surprise as well, I couldn't seem to find a satisfactory answer in the worldwide web with all its might.  OK, given that I didn't really look past beyond page-3 on a Google search, but as far as I'm concerned, if it's not on page-1, it might as well not exist in this world, and I went to page-3!  Page 3!  Can't say my research wasn't thorough. There's of course, lots of lemon poppy seed cake recipes out there.  And they probably all possess certain qualities that satisfy each maker's niche, but for me, each and every one seem to have one or two imperfections.

FIGS AND RICOTTA CHEESECAKE POPSICLE

[ezcol_1quarter]  [/ezcol_1quarter] [ezcol_1half] IS IT ME OR THERE'S A ZINNGG INSIDE MY HEAD? Leaving you quickly today with this beautiful inspiration I got from Erin Ireland on Instagram, gorgeous cross-sections of sweet figs being encased in a thick and creamy, lightly sea-salted ricotta "cheesecake" mixture, like frozen eternal jewels!  And we are not just talking about figs here.  Think peaches, summer berries, tropical dragon fruits or pineapples, KIWIS!  How pretty are those gonna be huh?!! OK.  That's about as much enthusiasm as I can spare today.  Is it me or do you hear a zinnnngg inside my head, too?  Now this head-aching zombie must go lay down.

BROWNIE-COW POPSICLES

SHUT UP, SHUP UP, SHUP UP [ezcol_1half] Let's play a game, shall we? Let's see how much of my babbling you can withstand before you say "shut up, shut up, shut up!" and burst into the kitchen to make yourself one of these milk and any-brownie, or as I call it, brownie-cow popsicles? Right, so you see here's the thing. I kinda love Earth. Maybe not enough to tie myself to a tree per se, but I do love Earth enough that I have more bicycles than mascaras, and I haven't had myself an ungodly orgasmic piece of toro, for like more than three years now. And believe me, I do love my ungodly toro. But there's something else I love dearly as well
