This cake was a disaster! It didn't rise properly and it was so dry that it was inedible.

This cake was so easy to make and it turned out beautifully! I used a bundt pan and the cake came out perfectly golden brown. The citrus flavor was subtle and the poppy seeds added a nice crunch. I served it with fresh berries and whipped cream.
