Awesome! Because we really LOVE lemon, I used lemon pudding, added some lemon zest and followed another reviewer's suggestion for a glaze. I soaked the poppyseeds and didn't reduce the amount; we found that it was just right. I baked this for a birthday and topped it with a light dusting of confectioners' sugar. This cake was moist and a whole lot less bother to make than my usual lemon poppyseed cake. Thank you!

This recipe did not come out like I expected from all the rave reviews. First of all, the recipe says to bake the cake for 60 minutes, however I checked it at 40 minutes and it was already overdone. I thought the pudding mix would add something to the cake, but the end result didn't taste any better than a plain old cake mix cake. I will keep looking for a lemon poppy seed cake recipe that suits my tastes better.

Made this exactly per the recipe. The Bundt fell a little after I turned it out onto the plate and part of the cake was "thick". Still a good cake tho and this will be eaten. I'll just try it again. :)

I too used lemon pudding mix. I just blended the poppy seeds right in and used an additional 1/4 cup lemon juice to add more moisture to relace the milk. I also only used 3 eggs. I came out nicely. I did adda glaze after baking for only 53 minutes as it tested done already.

I took this easy to make cake to a bbq and the guests loved it! It's light, moist and doesn't need any extra sugar or frosting.

Want it crunchy? This is my boys FAVE cake, and we add crunch easily: After buttering the pan, I sprinkle with raw sugar. It makes for crunchy sweet edges that makes this cake, everyones fave, and you don't have to frost it!

I used this recipe to make cupcakes. This recipe is of course not meant to be cupcakes so they sort of sunk in after they cooled, but they tasted phenomenal and after we put frosting on top you couldn't tell they were sunken in. I did use lemon pudding mix instead of vanilla and I used the lemon cream cheese frosting(the one with lemon juice and zest) from this website and they were so perfect. many people told me they were better than sprinkles, and I agree!

I give this recipe 4 stars as is. If you add a glaze then it's definitely a 5 star recipe...especially since it is so easy.

Made this (using lemon pudding instead of vanilla) in a bundt pan, and it was moist and delicious! I didn't even use a glaze, but it would be even more awesome that way! Sprinkled it with powdered sugar after it cooled, which covered up the flour left over from the pan.

I love leom poppy seed cake and this was the best I have ever had. I made it for Christmas as a treat for the office and everyone wanted to know if it was from a bakery and from where! I have made several times already, and when I am at the last piece, I dice it and place at the bottom of a dessert glass and top with fruit salad and a scoop of whipped cream or vanilla ice cream for a fantastic extension of the dessert! Thank you for the recipe.

This cake is moist and has an intense lemon flavor - very yummy! I used a glaze recommended by another reviewer -juice of 1 orange and 1 lemon mixed with 1 1/3 cup powdered sugar. Heat the mixture just until boiling. I poured the whole amount over the top of the cake after I poked holes in it. I used the poppy seeds but I think next time I'll omit them and just have lemon cake.

I live in the dorms..so my resources are limited. I used the dry ingredients from a recipe for cake, I used lemon pudding. I didn't want to spend two hours creating poppy seed so i let it simmer in milk in a pan while i put together the other ingredients. also i used melted butter and oil... not all my choices were great, but i really stand by using scrath cake than mix.

Use lemon pudding rather than vanilla, and glaze with a mixture of lemon juice and powdered sugar to take this recipe to 5 stars. Have made this several times and am asked for the recipe repeatedly.

My husband, who normally rarely eats dessert, loves this cake. The only thing I change is that I add a dash of lemon essence to the cake mix and then do a lemon juice/butter/iccing sugar glaze. It has become a staple around our house.

I have made this recipe many times and for my family's taste, I reduce the poppy seeds to 2 tablespoons and add 1 teaspoon of lemon zest. I don't bother soaking the poppy seeds because I find it makes no difference to the final product. I also top the inverted cake with a glaze of 1 cup of icing sugar (powdered sugar) and 2 tablespoons of lemon juice to a cooled cake so that it drools down the indentations. Pretty and delicious.

Excellent! My daughter who is 6 normally doesn't like anything with lemon in it, loved this cake. My husband and myself liked it because it was best after sitting for a day. My oldest son loved it and normally loves sugary sweet things so it was a great cake for the enitre family. I did substitute lemon pudding mix for the vanilla and it turned out great.

9/1/08: My husband and kids have raved over this cake since I first made it. I have also made it for friends and family and they all love it as well. The only changes that I made were to omit the poppy seeds (could not find any) and I added 1/4 cup lemon juice to the batter. I used the glaze recommended on the reviews and its soooo good. This is a keeper in our family. To make the glaze I used 1 1/2 cups powdered sugar and 1/4 cup-1/2 cup lemon juice. UPDATE: 12/15/08: I have made this recipe so many times. It is a definite favorite in our house and I have been asked for the recipe as well. I have since changed how I make this to make it a little less moist. I think after making this several times 2 TBS of Lemon Juice to the batter is plenty and I use 1/4 cup Oil with no problems. I also use Lemon Pudding Mix instead of Vanilla. I have made the glaze using less and its still really good. 1/2 cup Powdered sugar 1/4 cup lemon juice works well together poured over the cake. I did also incorporate the Poppy Seeds this time & love that in there. Thank you so very much again!
