Lemon Poppy Seed Cake Recipe

I know that my love of lilacs and lemons comes from my grandmother–and I believe she would have loved this recipe for Lemon Poppy Seed Cake!

With just a slight bit of lemony sweetness from the glaze, it’s a great complement. It would go very well with coffee.

Our family enjoyed it so much that it didn’t last long enough to share with the neighbor! Maybe next time!  This recipe is from The Perfect Pantry.com.

Excellent! I did not use juice from a lemon but the equivalent: 2 Tablespoons Lemon Juice. I also added in more poppy seeds than called for. I used 1 Tablespoon rather than 1 teaspoon.
