Orange poppy seed yogurt loaf (cake de semillas de amapola y jugo de naranja)

















Those who visited me a while ago and really  know me  sure you have noticed  I love poppy seeds and  love  when I try a recipe with them. 
I think the first thing I tried was a  birthday cake with poppy seeds but really everything, the muffins, desserts, cakes and tarts are delicious.
I'm still trying to catch up with all the recipes I have pending.
Well little by little. At least my mood is better. (There are days that make me very sad I don't know why)

Well going to the recipe is an orange cake with poppy seeds and Greek yogurt: I love it
