This lime and poppy seed cake is possibly the easiest and quickest thing ever to whip up, perfect for an afternoon break when the kids come back from school. Just sweet enough, plenty of zing, light, with golden crust, and unbelievably moist. Lime and poppy seeds are such an amazing combination! The lime flavor is subtle, so for a stronger kick, lay off a few slices of lime on top.
