Directions

90 min.
1. Step

Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C). Grease and flour a 9-inch bundt pan.

2. Step

In a large bowl, combine the flour, sugar, baking powder, baking soda, salt and poppy seeds.

3. Step

In another large bowl, beat the butter until it is fluffy, then add buttermilk and eggs one at a time, making sure to mix well after each egg.

4. Step

Stir in the vanilla extract and lemon zest.

5. Step

Gradually mix in the dry ingredients into the wet, stirring until just combined.

6. Step

Pour the batter into the prepared bundt pan, then bake for 50-60 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the cake comes out clean.

7. Step

Allow the cake to cool in the pan on a wire rack for about 10 minutes, then invert it onto a serving plate to cool completely.

8. Step

To prepare the glaze, whisk together the powdered sugar, vanilla extract and lemon juice in a small bowl. If the consistency is too thick, add more lemon juice 1 teaspoon at a time. Pour over the cooled cake before serving.
