Country Poppy Seed Cake

TOTAL TIME: Prep: 15 min. Bake: 1 hour + cooling YIELD: 12-16 servings.
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.

Ingredients

  • 1/4 cup poppy seeds
  • 1 package (5.1 ounces) instant vanilla pudding mix
  • 1 package white cake mix (regular size)
  • 1/2 cup vegetable oil
  • 4 large eggs
  • 1 cup water
  • 1 teaspoon almond extract
  • 2 tablespoons sugar
  • 1/2 teaspoon ground cinnamon
  • GLAZE:
  • 1/2 cup confectioners' sugar
  • 1/4 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 1 to 2 teaspoons whole milk

Directions

  • 1. In a large bowl, combine the poppy seeds, pudding and cake mix. Add the oil, eggs, water and almond extract. Beat on low speed until dry ingredients are moistened. Increase speed to medium and beat for 2 minutes. Combine sugar and cinnamon; sprinkle into a greased fluted 10-in. tube pan.
  • 2. Pour batter into pan and bake at 325° for 1 hour or until a toothpick comes out clean. Allow cake to cool 10 minutes before removing to a wire rack. Combine glaze ingredients and drizzle over cooled cake.
