Lemon Poppyseed Cake

[Alix]

I meant to post this long ago, and never did. I made it again today.

Cake

1/4 cup poppyseeds
1/4 cup milk
1 lemon cake mix
1 small pkg instant vanilla pudding
4 eggs
1/2 oil
1 cup warm water

Glaze

3 tbsp lemon juice
6 tbsp white sugar

Soak poppyseeds in milk overnight (or if you are impatient, heat the milk up a bit and soak for an hour or so)
Mix together the cake mix, the pudding, the oil, water, eggs and poppy seed mixture. Pour into a sprayed bundt pan. Bake at 350 for one hour. Turn cake out and drizzle with glaze while still warm.

This sounds so good, Alix! I especially like the idea of soaking the poppy seeds.

 

[Alix]

Mmmph. Id is preddy dasty PA. Wanna piece?

 

[PA Baker]

I'm a couple hours late, but if there's any left, I'd love a piece. Thanks!!!

 

[Alix]

Yep there is lots left. My kids preferred the Rocky Road fudge so the cake is virtually untouched. Just the piece I ate is missing. I think next time I make it I will toss in some lemon zest, it needs to be zippier. I remember thinking that the LAST time I made it, but forgot to note it on the recipe. DOH!

Hope you enjoy it! I like this one but actually prefer the orange poppyseed cake I posted a while ago. I need more ZIP!

If you make this one and add the lemon zest could you post and let me know if it is zingy enough? Thanks kadesma!

 

[kadesma]

Will let you know Alix. I've already added ingredients to my shopping list..And I've made a note to add more zest...

Don't you hate it when you lose a recipe and then fake it (and it turns out OK, but not quite right) and realize..."I posted that on DC!!" AFTER you have it in the oven. Sigh.

I have GOT to start archiving these recipes better! Maybe just a file with the links in it.

Alix, did you post the Orange Poppyseed Cake on here? I've had the lemon and it is delicious, but would like to see the other. Thanks

 

[Alix]

I love recipes made with pudding. It makes the cakes turn out nice and moist. Alix, thanks for posting this recipe.
