Lemon Poppy Seed Cake

This recipe was given to one of my Uncles 25 years ago from a co-worker. It has been a much requested recipe in our family ever since. One of my favorites. *The secret to the lemony flavor is the thin glaze which sinks into the cake and then hardens and gives it a really nice texture. I love the bottom where the glaze is thickest!

Ingredients

Cake

Glaze

Directions

  1. 1
    Preheat oven to 350°F.
  2. 2
    Grease a bundt pan.
  3. 3
    Beat together cake ingredients with an electric mixer for about 4 minutes. Pour batter into prepared bundt pan.
  4. 4
    Bake for 45 minutes or until toothpick tests clean.
  5. 5
    While cake is baking mix lemon juice with powdered sugar for the glaze. It should have a thin consistency to sink into the cake.
  6. 6
    When cake is done and still hot, poke holes all over it (still in the bundt pan) with long skewers and pour the glaze over it.
  7. 7
    Allow cake to cool and then remove from the pan.

    We loved this cake! I did use the cake mix with the pudding and about a 1/4 cup of poppyseed's for our taste. The kitchen smelled so good while this cake was baking and you cant help but lick the bowl too! Thank you Engrossed for posting this recipe.
