1
Directions
2
Preheat oven to 350u00b0F (175u00b0C). Butter a 10 inch tube or bundt pan.
3
CAKE: Cream the butter and sugar in a large mixing bowl. Add eggs, one at a time, beating well after each.
4
Sift together the dry ingredients in a separate bowl.
5
Add the dry ingredients to the butter/egg mixture alternately with the poppy seeds and milk; beginning and ending with the dry mixture.
6
Stir batter just enough to blend thoroughly, adding the vanilla, lemon juice and lemon rind at the end.
7
Spread the batter into the prepared pan, and bake for about 40 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted in the cake comes out clean.
8
Cool for 10 minutes, then invert onto a pretty cake platter. Allow to cool completely before adding the orange glaze and/or slicing.
9
ORANGE GLAZE: Combine the ingredients in a small saucepan and bring to a boil. Lower heat and simmer uncovered for about 3 minutes.
10
Pour the hot glaze onto the cooled cake. Let stand at least 10 minutes before slicing.

Tips for the best results

Read through all the steps once before you start and measure out your ingredients first — it makes everything go more smoothly.
Preheat the oven fully and bake on the middle rack for the most even results.
Check for doneness a few minutes early — a toothpick in the center should come out with just a few moist crumbs.
Let it cool before slicing so it sets properly and holds its shape.
Store leftovers in an airtight container in the fridge and enjoy within a few days.

Variations & substitutions

Use a neutral oil or a plant-based spread in place of butter for a dairy-free version.
Brown sugar instead of white sugar adds a deeper, more caramel-like flavor.
A good 1:1 gluten-free flour blend works well if you need a gluten-free version.
