It was a nice cake. Its soft, remind me of my mom marble cake.
I omit the poppy seed and drops golden raisins and chocolate chips instead.
And for lemon, as I dont have in the house, so I used only 1 small key lime..
Thats why I cant feel the taste of lemon :)
I guess I have to change the title into Key Lime Golden Raisins & Chocolate Chips Cake :)
But I love it. Great for breakfast and tea time....
