I wanted to make a Pistachio / Poppyseed Cake like my grandma used to make. I used this recipe as a base and only changed the pudding (to Pistachio) and extract (2 tsp vanilla). Followed everything else and it was very moist and delicious. A definite keeper!

I have no idea why this is rated so highly. It was just okay. I added an extra teaspoon of the almond extract - which I'm glad I did, otherwise it wouldn't have had much flavor. This seemed more suited for muffins than a bundt cake. The only reason it was good is because I made a great butter creme frosting to go on top. I won't be making this again.

I added buttermilk instead of water; 4 TBSP poppy seeds and 2 teas. almond extract. I made individual "bundt" muffins and topped them with 10X sugar mixed with almond and vanilla extract and milk. Very moist, dense and delicious!

I used 'cake mixes from scratch and variations' from this web site. I just used the dry ingredients and then followed this recipe. Have not tasted yet but will update...I also used an almond/butter/milk/confectioner sugar glaze. Update-was terrific! Raves from company. Moist!

Delicious and so moist, with all those eggs and oil. Makes it pretty fatty, but you can't beat the results! I stuck exactly to the recipe and it went fast! I think I'll try other pudding flavors next time.

Company worthy!!! I mixed/matched my cake and pudding mixes with what I had. ended up using a white cake mix with butterscotch pudding. I threw in the poppy seeds to hoping for the best because I love the crispy texture they provide. I made a butterscotch topping by heating a little unsalted butter and brown sugar in a heavy pan until the brown sugar melted and started to turn crunchy. Added a little milk and boiled for about 60 seconds until the crunchies melted. Whisked in icing sugar until the consistancy I wanted to pour over the cake. MMMM Great recipe!

Made this yesterday and it is already almost gone. I followed the recipe with exception to doubling the almond extract and adding an additional TBS of poppy seeds. I didn't bother to top this with any icing and it is still being gobbled up. Great recipe!

Fantabulous! Incredibly easy, throw together recipe. The results are a really light, moist, fluffy cake. Not too sweet. Didn't need icing of any kind IMO. Could definitely see these in muffin or cupcake type forms. I followed others' advice and double the almond extract. Really brought out the flavor.

Delicious and SO easy! The cake turned out moist and yummy - perfect for a brunch or dessert (or dinner, for that matter!). I doubled the extract as suggested by other reviewers... good tip, the extra almond flavor was delish. I also drizzled with a powdered sugar/water/almond extract glaze and sprinked toasted slivered almonds on top. The texture contrast of the crunchy almonds was great, and made the presentation a little more fancy. I'll be making this again very soon!

It turned out beautifully, very moist. I used one of those powdered sugar glazes and added almond extract to that as well. Next time I would add more almond extract to the cake.
