Good morning PenguinChums,

The world feels a bit wobbly today doesn't it, what with The Crimea and the (still) missing Malaysian plane. Those poor passengers, and their poor relatives.

So what can one do on a gloomy Sunday but bake a cake, and this is  a real Corker:

Lemon Poppyseed Sponge

225g butter
finely grated zest of 1 lemon
225g castor sugar
4 eggs
100g ground almonds
100g self-raising flour (or normal flour with 2 tsp baking powder)
2 tablespoons poppy seeds.

Mix together and then bake in 2 sandwich tins until risen and golden.
Sandwich together with whipped cream and Lemon curd.
