This poppy seed bundt cake is incredibly delicious, fluffy, and light. It is the perfect dessert or an insanely yummy breakfast. Who said you couldn’t have cake for breakfast?
My son Madden loves lemon poppy seed cake, muffins, cupcakes, cookies – anything with poppy seeds and lemon.
He asked me to make a lemon poppy seed cake one afternoon, but sadly, I didn’t have any lemons in the house—no juice or fruit. So I decided to whip up my friend Kelin’s Poppy Seed Cake, which is so easy to make and requires only a few ingredients.
This Poppy Seed Cake is so quick and easy to make that the kids can do it.
What is fun about this recipe is that it can be made in many different versions and is simple to adapt.
Bundt Cakes are my favorite cakes to make. I think it is because I have the best memories of my mom making them. My dad loves her triple chocolate cake, which she always made in a bundt pan.
I love making foods that my kids love, and since I have a little one who loves poppy seeds, I need to make all of his wishes come true. That he asks for a lemon poppy seed cake every birthday makes me so happy.
And look at this kid’s smile. {heart melting}
I love his dimple. He wasn’t born with it; instead, when he was two years old, my oldest Aiden was teaching Jordan and Madden some karate moves. As Aiden was demonstrating a kick on a pillow that Madden was holding, Madden fell back and hit the corner of our brick fireplace, causing his tooth to almost go all the way through his cheek, creating this adorably cute dimple.
