Time 2h55m

Yield 10 to 12 servings

Number Of Ingredients 12

1/3-cup (2 1/2 ounces) poppy seeds
1 tablespoon freshly grated lemon zest
1 cup whole, 2 percent fat, or 1 percent fat milk
2 eggs
1 1/2 cups sugar
2 cups flour
2 1/2 teaspoons baking powder
1/2 teaspoon cinnamon
1/4 teaspoon nutmeg
3/4 cup vegetable oil
1 teaspoon pure vanilla extract
1 teaspoon almond extract

Steps:

  • In a bowl, combine the poppy seeds, lemon zest, and milk. Set aside to soak for at least 1 hour or refrigerated overnight. Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F. Line a 6-cup loaf pan with wax paper. In a mixer fitted with a whisk attachment (or using a hand mixer), whip the eggs and sugar together until light and fluffy.
  • In a separate bowl, sift the dry ingredients together. With the mixer running, drizzle the oil, vanilla extract, and almond extract into the egg mixture. With the mixer still running, add alternating batches of dry ingredients and poppy seed-milk mixture to the egg mixture. The batter will be somewhat thin. Pour into the prepared pan.
  • Bake 1 to 1 1/4 hours, until the center is raised and cracked and the whole cake is firm and dry on the top. Avoid opening the oven while baking. Do not under-bake or the cake will fall. Let cool in the pan for 5 minutes, then turn out onto a wire rack and continue cooling before serving.

This cake was a bit too sweet for my taste, but my kids loved it. I think I'll try using less sugar next time.

I'm not sure what I did wrong, but this cake turned out really dry. I followed the recipe exactly, but it just didn't come out right.

This cake was just okay. It was a bit dry and the lemon flavor was a bit too strong.

This cake was a huge disappointment. It was dry and crumbly, and the lemon flavor was barely there.

This cake was a bit too tart for my taste, but my husband loved it. I think I'll try adding a little less lemon juice next time.
