Poppyseed Cake

Preheat the oven to 350°F and grease a 9-inch round cake pan or equivalent baking dish.

Whisk together eggs and apple juice concentrate in a large bowl until well combined and slightly frothy.

Add melted butter, lemon peel, lemon juice, and vanilla to the egg mixture, stirring until fully incorporated.

In a separate bowl, whisk together flour, poppy seeds, baking powder, baking soda, and salt.

Fold the dry ingredients into the wet ingredients using a spatula or wooden spoon until just combined—do not overmix.

Pour the batter into the prepared pan and smooth the top evenly.

Bake in the preheated oven for 35 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted in the center comes out with a few moist crumbs.

Allow the cake to cool in the pan for 10 minutes, then turn out onto a wire rack to cool completely.
