Lemon Poppy Seed Bundt Cake

My Lemon Poppy Seed Bundt Cake recipe has a delicate crumb texture accented by a tangy-sweet lemony glaze and the crunch of the poppy seeds. It’s a special treat for tea time or any time of the day!

Ingredients

1 cup butter
2 cups sugar
4 eggs
1/2 teaspoon vanilla
zest from 2 lemons
juice from 1 lemon
1 cup buttermilk
3 cups flour
3 tablespoons poppy seeds
1/2 teaspoon baking powder
1/2 teaspoon baking soda

Directions

Oil and flour your bundt pan. Preheat oven to 325 degrees. Beat butter and sugar together in a medium-sized mixing bowl until fluffy. Add in eggs and vanilla and beat well. Add in remaining ingredients and beat until completely combined. Pour batter into the prepared bundt pan and bake for 45-55 minutes, until cooked through. Remove from oven and set on a wire rack for 5 minutes. Remove from pan and continue to cool on the wire rack. Drizzle with glaze, once cooled.

Glaze

1 cup powdered sugar

2 Tablespoons lemon juice

Whisk together until smooth. Cover until ready to use.

IT'S ME, SERENA!

In 2002, I was dreaming of creating a fun and happy little event to sell my vintage and handmade goods. In 2002, I held my first event in my neighbor's barn along with a handful of friends. The sale became wildly popular and began attracting visitors from across the country and recognition in national magazines. Today The Farm Chicks Vintage & Handmade Fair fills the Spokane County Fairgrounds and features hundreds of creatively and carefully curated spaces packed with vintage and handmade goods. Many describe it as a bucket list event, magical, inspirational, and the best event of its kind in the USA. I describe it as the best weekend of the year!
