Depending on the sweetness of the fruit you use to garnish the cake, you may wish to increase or decrease the sugar in the lemon syrup. (By Times Food Stylists) Combine nonfat milk and poppy seeds in a bowl. Let stand about 15 minutes. Stir in pear puree, egg white, vanilla and lemon zest. Sift together cake flour, 3/4 cup sugar and baking powder in another bowl. Stir nonfat milk mixture just until blended.
