I also love to use an almond glaze for this cake instead of lemon. To make this, skip the lemon juice and add 1-1/4 teaspoons of almond extract instead. Then, add just enough milk as you’re mixing the powdered sugar and almond extract for the glaze to be pourable. This cake can be kept in an airtight container (you’ll need a really big container if you want to store the whole bundt cake together, or use a cake plate with a lid) for up to 3 days on the counter. Then, I’d transfer it to the fridge.

Did you make this recipe? FANTASTIC. Please rate the recipe below and be sure to tag me on social when you share a photo on social – I love seeing what you’re up to in the kitchen! Store-bought mixes — This lemon poppy seed cake starts out with a cake mix and a lemon pudding mix. These are integral to making this cake so very easy to make and so tasty too (and that pudding is the key to a moist cake as well). Quick, easy dessert — I mentioned that this recipe starts with two pre-bought mixes. That’s easy part number one. Once those are mixed together, it’s just a matter of stirring in the rest of the ingredients and popping it into the oven. Ta da! So. Easy. Great for bake sales, pot lucks, and other get-togethers — I created this lemon poppy seed cake one snowy day when I was experimenting with desserts for a bake sale for a church youth group’s fundraiser. I took this one along with two other chocolate desserts and guess which one was purchased the quickest? You guessed it, this cake! I’ve since made it again, oh, at least a dozen times for various other occasions and it’s always the first dessert to go. Recipe adapted from Six Sisters Stuff
