This lemon poppy seed einkorn cake is deliciously healthy, and quick to make, and perfect for a spring brunch. The flavours of lemon and poppy seeds complement each other beautifully in this loaf cake, but chia seeds and coconut were added for extra goodness and flavour. If desired, prepare a lemon syrup and drizzle over the warm cake.

ReplyDeleteThis loaf sound fabulously, delish, Angie. And those blueberries are adding luscious texture and flavors to this. Absolutely loving the idea. YUM!
ReplyDeleteLooks hearty and delicious! Excuse me while I go have a piece of cake.. after seeing your loaf, I'm craving for a slice of cake..
ReplyDeleteIt looks heavenly!
ReplyDeleteCheers,
Rosa

Those blueberries are just calling my name. This looks like a delicious Spring loaf.
ReplyDeleteWhat an exotic name. Now I'm craving blueberries...

Love this recipe, another great one for using einkorn! Bet it's good with the poppy seeds.
ReplyDeleteLove the colour from the poppy seeds! Looking at the ingredients, I bet this loaf is moist and flavourful. Looks beautiful, Angie!
ReplyDeleteThe lemony scent I simply love in this cake. Such a beauty as well.
ReplyDeleteI definitely love the addition of the plump juicy blueberries on top of this loaf! Love a loaf like this, ready for breakfast, snacking, or dessert!
ReplyDeleteNow I am wishing my blueberry bush was bearing fruit! I have never cooked with Stevia- healthy? Love the use of coconut. I do love tea breads - just the right amount of sweet and not cloying. Delicious!
ReplyDeleteThis would be something I would take on the go. Love the fact that you use einkorn even though I have never baked with it. I need to someday!
ReplyDeleteI am so tempted by such a delicious looking cake!
ReplyDeleteIf one does not have Einkorn flour, either in berries to grind or already ground, how much flour would this recipe use, please?
ReplyDeleteSo...what is the weight of the berries after they are ground?
Sorry, would they still weigh the same? Hm...maybe they would.
Sorry if my question is stupid. Guess I'll experiment with something
I can grind to find the answer.
i finally caved and bought some chia seeds...something very similar to this might be my first use!
ReplyDeleteAngie, you always come up with interesting recipe...this cake is amazing, packed with good nutritious ingredients...
ReplyDeleteI yet have to try baking with Einkorn flour...thanks for the inspiration!
Have a wonderful week :)
what a beautiful cake Angie! will be perfect with a cup of coffee!
ReplyDeleteWow! This cake has such a fantastic texture and colour! I am entrigued by einkorn as you seem to bake a lot with it. I will look for it in my local health shops next time I go out.
ReplyDelete@Caterina BSpelt will be a nice alternative. And yes, the weight will stay the same after the berries are ground.
ReplyDeleteI'm always looking for ways to incorporate coconut flour. This is a lovely cake and the blueberries are a great addition. The lemon glaze sounds wonderful too!
ReplyDeleteAnother delicious and beautiful loaf cake. YUM!
ReplyDeleteAll your loaf and cakes look amazing !!
ReplyDeleteLove poppy seeds :)
xoxo
This looks gorgeous dear. Your recipes are so interesting. Wish I could get a slice right now :-)
ReplyDeleteHealthy snack, Angie. Love the poppy seeds. They are so good.
ReplyDeleteSuch a beautiful loaf!
ReplyDeleteGreat looking cake. I love poppy but I don't use it often enough, I think. I have to buy some again.
ReplyDeleteWhat a healthy way to start the morning! Are those blueberries? Love the addition of Chia Seeds, XOXO
ReplyDeleteThis is indeed a healthy loaf, love all the pics!

So many good and yummy ingredients going on here Angie. Love the dark color of it and I say blueberries are a MUST!
ReplyDeleteOhhhhh beautiful loaf, Angie! I love how the blueberries nestle down deeper into the cake. And I can only imagine it warm out of the oven with a lemon drizzle! Gorgeous photos! : )
ReplyDeleteAngie, I checked out the recipe that you adapted your amazing Chia Poppy Loaf Cake from, and I must say it's more than just a slight change; You've created a totally new and different one, which is incredible, because most of the time it's just a little 'tweek' here and there! Love the poppy seed with the chia seed pairing, and the blueberries just really adds an even more tastier, addition, and presentation!
ReplyDeleteI meant to say most people 'tweek' recipes a little here, and there...did not mean that you do this. Strangely enough, I never even check the original source recipes come from, and this time I was curious! (OK, enough babbling)
ReplyDeleteYou bake the most beautiful breads, loaves and cakes, Angie! And you are always so creative with them!! Love this one just as much as the last! Cheers, dear!
ReplyDeleteThanks, Angie, for your reply.
ReplyDeleteAngie those blueberries look amazing as does the rest of this loaf!
ReplyDeleteThis sounds wonderful Angie. I would definitely keep the blueberries, they make it look so pretty!
ReplyDeleteLemon poppy seed is a huge favorite of mine during spring! This cake looks just wonderful!
ReplyDeleteLemons, blueberries and all those seeds sounds like heaven to me. I'd love a couple slices for my breakfast!
ReplyDeleteDear Angie, What a beautiful loaf cake. I know that it would be perfect with coffee in the morning for breakfast. Have a beautiful weekend. xoxo Catherine

ReplyDeleteYour recipe is so timely - my coworker is the first person I've known that uses Einkorn and was looking for recipes. I'll pass your blog along to him. You use it often and your baked goods always look so delicious.
ReplyDeleteLemon and poppy seeds are a natural combination. Another beautiful and delicious loaf by Angie :-)

ReplyDeleteThis loaf look delicious with the juicy sweet blueberries.
ReplyDeleteGreat recipe Angie. I"ve been trying to create a few dishes with chia seeds since they're so good for you. I love blueberries so I'm sure I'd enjoy this. I'll definitely give it a go.
ReplyDeleteMy mother used to make a lemon and poppy seed pound cake which was out of this world. This cake reminds me of it in flavor, but certainly not in ingredients. You cake is much healthier and heartier. I can understand why you call it a brunch.
ReplyDeleteI had my first cake made with ground poppy seeds quite recently and was amazed at what a difference it made as opposed to eating them whole. Your loaf sounds gorgeous.
ReplyDeleteSo gorgeous and creative, would like to have a slice!
ReplyDeleteThis is a stunning loaf cake, Angie! Why, oh why, do we live so far away from each other ..
ReplyDeleteOne of my favorite combos lemon and blueberries. Another thing I need to try.
ReplyDeleteWhat a blueberry studded bread! With lemon and poppy seeds, I can only imagine how wonderful this tastes, Angie!
