Poppy Seed Cake I image

This cake is moist and delicious; especially so if you love the flavoring of almond extract. The cake is lovely and unusual to look at: white with black dots from the poppy seeds; filled and topped with yellow almond flavored custard. It's easy to take to a picnic, potluck or gourmet dinner. Just take the two cake layers and the bowl of custard. Assemble at your destination. Always a hit.

I'm not sure what went wrong, but my cake turned out very dry. It was still edible, but it wasn't very good.

My cake didn't turn out as moist as I would have liked. I think I might have overbaked it.
