To make this cake, you will need flour, sugar, butter, eggs, lemon juice, lemon zest, poppy seeds, baking powder, baking soda, and a pinch of salt.
Ensure your Bundt pan is well-greased and floured to prevent sticking. This step is crucial for achieving that perfect cake shape and easy release.
Start by creaming the butter and sugar until light and fluffy. Gradually add the eggs, followed by the lemon juice and zest. In a separate bowl, combine the dry ingredients
Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Pour the batter into the prepared Bundt pan and bake for about 45-50 minutes. The cake is ready when a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.
While the cake cools, prepare a simple lemon glaze using powdered sugar and lemon juice. Drizzle the glaze over the cooled cake for an extra burst of citrus flavor.
