Lemon poppy seed cake

I don't usually like cake. But this turned out pretty good! Nice 'n' moist, and lemony. 

Wet

• 3/4 cup white sugar 
• 1 c butter 
• lots of vanilla 
• 3 large eggs 
• 1/4 cup milk 
• squirts of lemon juice 

Dry 

• 1 1/2 cups all-purpose flour 
• 1 teaspoon baking powder 
• 1/4 teaspoon salt 
• 3 tablespoons (30 grams) poppy seeds 
• 1 tablespoon grated lemon zest 

Mix wet as usual, but be sure to: add eggs one at a time, and add the lemon juice after everything else is mixed together (to avoid curdling the dairy -- it also emulsifies, though, so that helps!). 

Mix together dry. Add dry to wet in batches, beating well. You can add the lemon zest to the dry first, or add it as a final step after everything is beaten together. 

Butter and flour a loaf pan. Bake 350 F / 175 C for 40 - 50 mins (time varies a lot. Just watch it!)
