Recipe Box: Sweet Laurel Lemon Poppy Seed Bundt Cake
We wouldn’t normally suggest having a slice of cake for breakfast… Unless, of course, that cake happened to be grain-free, dairy-free and refined sugar-free. Which is exactly the case with today’s dish: Sweet Laurel Bakery’s Lemon Poppy Seed Bundt Cake. This brunch centerpiece has all the flavors of a classic lemon poppy seed muffin, but without the guilt. Top it off with Laurel’s coconut butter glaze—which is naturally sweetened by maple syrup, honey and vanilla extract—and you have yourself a darn good excuse to start your day off with a slice of cake. We served it all up on The Little Market’s gorgeous gray Moroccan ceramic collection—a swoon-worthy set of serve ware that you can shop right here. Enjoy!
