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.

This loaf sound fabulously, delish, Angie. And those blueberries are adding luscious texture and flavors to this. Absolutely loving the idea. YUM!
Looks 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..
It looks heavenly!
Cheers,

Those blueberries are just calling my name. This looks like a delicious Spring loaf.
What 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.
Love the colour from the poppy seeds! Looking at the ingredients, I bet this loaf is moist and flavourful. Looks beautiful, Angie!
The lemony scent I simply love in this cake. Such a beauty as well.
I 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!
Now 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!
This 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!
I am so tempted by such a delicious looking cake!
If one does not have Einkorn flour, either in berries to grind or already ground, how much flour would this recipe use, please?
So...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!
Angie, you always come up with interesting recipe...this cake is amazing, packed with good nutritious ingredients...
I 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!
Wow! 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.
@Caterina BSpelt will be a nice alternative. And yes, the weight will stay the same after the berries are ground.
I'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!
Another delicious and beautiful loaf cake. YUM!
All your loaf and cakes look amazing !!
Love poppy seeds :)
xoxo
This looks gorgeous dear. Your recipes are so interesting. Wish I could get a slice right now :-)
Healthy snack, Angie. Love the poppy seeds. They are so good.
Such a beautiful loaf!
Great looking cake. I love poppy but I don't use it often enough, I think. I have to buy some again.
What a healthy way to start the morning! Are those blueberries? Love the addition of Chia Seeds, XOXO
This is indeed a healthy loaf, love all the pics!
Hi Angie, such a beautiful loaf cake, love that you added blueberries and seeds, what a wonderful combo.
A beautiful loaf, Angie! It looks mouthwatering with all those blueberries on top.

So many good and yummy ingredients going on here Angie. Love the dark color of it and I say blueberries are a MUST!
Ohhhhh 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! : )
Angie, 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!
I 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)
You 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!
Thanks, Angie, for your reply.
Angie those blueberries look amazing as does the rest of this loaf!
This sounds wonderful Angie. I would definitely keep the blueberries, they make it look so pretty!
Lemon poppy seed is a huge favorite of mine during spring! This cake looks just wonderful!
Lemons, blueberries and all those seeds sounds like heaven to me. I'd love a couple slices for my breakfast!
Dear 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
What a GREAT way to use an ancient grain and such a DELECTABLE looking cake too - perfect for Easter Angie! Karen
Oh my God, this cake looks absolutely amazing! I'm in love!
Angie, another wonderful recipe. I love this. I plan on baking it this weekend. Thanks for all of your great posts.
se ve muy exquisito y bello me gusta mucho,abrazos.
Your 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.
Lemon and poppy seeds are a natural combination. Another beautiful and delicious loaf by Angie :-)

Oh my goodness, look how pretty that bread is: I want! I need to make more fruity loaves, they are so satisfying! Yum, Terra
This is the perfect loaf for spring! I love the blueberries, lemon and poppy seed combo! It looks and sounds delicious, Angie! :)
So many wonderful and healthy ingredients in this beautiful loaf, Angie! I have yet to see Eikhorn flour but am still looking :)
Este rico pan de CHÍA me lo recomendaron para bajar el colesterol lo haré pronto me encantó,abrazos
Oh that would be so delicious Angie. I love the blueberries in there
This looks so tasty! I would definitely make it with the blueberries, as they are my current obsession!
Lemon, poppy seeds, and blueberries. What a terrific combination!
Love the sprinkling of sugar!
This loaf cake sounds yummy. I love how your recipes are always healthy and delicious!!!
What a beautiful and healthy recipe! Looks so tasty! I can imagine how amazing the aroma must be in your kitchen after baking this cake. Have a terrific week, Angie!
So easy yet impressive and delicious not to mention healthy, I would love a thick slice now with my coffee.
What a beautiful Loaf Angie! I love that it's good for my heart and light on my tummy. It really looks delicious :)
This loaf look delicious with the juicy sweet blueberries.
Great 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.
My 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.
I 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.
So gorgeous and creative, would like to have a slice!
This is a stunning loaf cake, Angie! Why, oh why, do we live so far away from each other ..
One of my favorite combos lemon and blueberries. Another thing I need to try.
What a blueberry studded bread! With lemon and poppy seeds, I can only imagine how wonderful this tastes, Angie!
