Poppies are our state flower, and each spring the fields in this area are a brilliant orange mass of poppies. That's when we make this poppy seed cake. It's especially fitting when we picnic where the poppies are plentiful.

I made this cake for one of my daughters friend for her birthday. When she told me what kind of cake she wanted I panicked. I had never made a poppy seed cake. It was such a hit that is the only cake they want anymore.
