Poppyseed Cake

I've had a can of poppyseed filling in my pantry for what seems like a sweet forever, so I was really excited to find this recipe. I love poppyseed stuff, and mostly you'll find it paired with lemon flavored cakes, muffins, etc. but I like that this cake lets just the flavor of poppyseed shine through.

Start by combining the flour, sugar, salt and baking soda in a large bowl.

In another bowl, or large measuring cup, lightly beat the eggs. Then add the oil, yogurt,

poppyseed filling,

milk

and vanilla. Now pour the wet ingredients into the dry

and stir just until combined. Pour the batter into a greased bundt pan.

Bake for 50-60 minutes or until golden brown and a toothpick inserted into the cake comes out clean.

Let cool in the pan, on a wire rack, for 15 minutes or so, then carefully remove from the pan and cool completely on the rack.

This cake is wonderful unadorned, or you can make a simple glaze for it by whisking together the powdered sugar and milk and adding a drop or two of almond extract. Pour the glaze over the cake

until it is completely covered and the glaze drips wonderfully down the sides of the cake!

You can slice this cake kind of thinly cause it is rich!
