Lemon Poppy Seed Cake image

This recipe was given to one of my Uncles 25 years ago from a co-worker. It has been a much requested recipe in our family ever since. One of my favorites. *The secret to the lemony flavor is the thin glaze which sinks into the cake and then hardens and gives it a really nice texture. I love the bottom where the glaze is thickest!

The glaze was a bit too sweet for my taste, but I think I can fix that by adding some lemon juice next time.

The glaze was a bit too runny for my taste, but I think I can fix that by adding some more powdered sugar next time.

This recipe was a bit too sweet for me, but I think I can fix that by reducing the amount of sugar next time.

The cake was a bit dry for my taste, but the flavor was good. I think I'll try adding some extra butter or oil next time.
