300 grams granulated sugar
4 eggs
200  grams all purpose flour
1 teaspoon baking powder 
150 grams poppy seeds ground

juice and zest of 1 orange

100 ml base sugar syrup  (find below)

For the lemon icing

250 grams confectioners sugar plus more if needed
1 teaspoon light corn syrup 
juice of 1 lemon
poppy seeds for sprinkling

Base sugar syrup

This help the cakes helps moist, gives them a lovely shiny gloss and make them more tastier.

100 ml water 
100 grams granulated sugar 
1 teaspoon light corn syrup

Place all the ingredients in a small pan and stir to dissolve the sugar. Bring to the boil, skim of any foam that come  to the top and remove from the heat. then allow to cool.


Method

Prehet the oven  180° /350° F.
Lightly spray a silicone mold  with butter or lightlybutter and flour a metal tin.

Whisk the oil with the sugar in a large bowl until combined. Add the eggs one at a time, whisking well after eachg one to create and emulsion (similar to making mayonnaise). Once you have a smooth silky looking mixture, add all the remaining batter ingredients at once and whisk until well combined.
The batter will seem runny but dont worry it will set solid once bakes.
Pour into the prepared mold or tin.

Bake in the center of the oven for 25 minutes, then turn the cake and bake for about 15 minutes more until firm and springy to the touch: push down on the middle with your finger and make sure is ready.
Brush the sugar syrup all over the cake while is still hot then allow to cool in the tin about 30 minutes before turning out onto a wire rack and cooling entirely.

Lemon icing

Combine the confectioners sugar and light corn syrup in a small bowl . Mix in the lemon juice a couple drops at a time until you have a thick icing. Check the consistency if you need add a little more sugar to thicken  more.
Spoon over the top of the cake and allow it to drip naturally down the sides. Sprinkle with a few poppy seeds, then leave the icing to set before cutting.
This really moist cake keeps well for 3 to 4 days at room temperature.
