ORANGE POPPY SEED CAKE
Note: Because this cake bakes at such a low temperature, try to avoid opening the oven to check on the progress of the cake during the baking time. Sharing from personal experience - if the oven temperature cools down too much while the cake bakes, the center of the cake may collapse.

Steps:
- In a bowl, sift together the flour, baking powder and salt. Set aside.
- In the bowl of a standmixer, cream together butter and sugar until light and fluffy. Add eggs one at a time, beating well after each addition.
- Alternate adding the flour mixture and the milk to the creamed mixture, mixing well after each addition.
- Fold in the poppy seeds, vanilla and orange zest and mix just until evenly combined.
- Pour the batter into your prepared pan.
- Bake for 50 to 60 minutes or until the edges of the cake shrink slightly away from the sides of the pan and a toothpick inserted into the cake comes out clean. Allow the cake to cool in the pan for about 30 minutes and then turn out onto a cake rack or plate to cool.
- Prepare the glaze by mixing the orange juice and sugar together until the sugar dissolves.
- Using a toothpick or cake tester, prick holes throughout the top of the cake and slowly spoon or brush the glaze over the cake, allowing the glaze to seep into the cake.

ORANGE-AND-POPPY-SEED SHEET CAKE
Full of citrus flavor, this recipe includes orange zest, sour cream, poppy seeds, and vanilla paste in the batter and orange juice in the luscious, easy icing. To serve, shower with more poppy seeds and get creative when cutting: Small and large planks, slices on the bias, and even triangles are fair game when it comes to a sheet cake.

LEMON POPPY SEED POUNDCAKE
This lemon poppy seed poundcake is summery and quick to make, and perfect for a picnic. One tip: cut up the poundcake before the picnic but leave it in the baking pan.
