  • Use almond or oat flour instead of all-purpose flour: Almond or oat flour are healthier alternatives to all-purpose flour, and they add a nutty flavor to the cake.
  • Use poppy seeds: Poppy seeds add a crunchy texture and a nutty flavor to the cake.
  • Bake the cake at a low temperature: Baking the cake at a low temperature helps to prevent it from drying out.
