Tips:

For a sweeter cake, use overripe bananas and increase the amount of sugar in the recipe.
If you don't have buttermilk, you can make your own by adding 1 tablespoon of lemon juice or vinegar to 1 cup of regular milk and letting it sit for 5 minutes.
To make sure the cake is cooked through, insert a toothpick into the center of the cake. If it comes out clean, the cake is done.
Let the cake cool completely before frosting it. This will help the frosting to set properly.
For a more intense poppy seed flavor, toast the poppy seeds in a dry skillet over medium heat for 2-3 minutes, stirring constantly.
Store the frosted cake in the refrigerator for up to 3 days.
