Ingredients

• 2.5 cups All-purpose flour
• 1.5 cups Granulated sugar
• 0.25 cups Poppy seeds
• 2 teaspoons Baking powder
• 0.5 teaspoons Salt
• 1 cups Whole milk
• 0.5 cups Butter, melted
• 4 Large eggs
• 2 teaspoons Vanilla extract
• 1 teaspoons Almond extract
• 0.25 cups Powdered sugar (optional, for garnish)

Directions

Step 1

Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C), and grease a 9x13-inch baking pan or bundt pan. Lightly flour the inside of the pan to prevent sticking.

Step 2

In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the all-purpose flour, granulated sugar, poppy seeds, baking powder, and salt until well combined.

Step 3

In a separate bowl, whisk together the milk, melted butter, eggs, vanilla extract, and almond extract until smooth.

Step 4

Gradually add the wet ingredients to the dry ingredients, mixing gently but thoroughly. Avoid overmixing; the batter should be smooth and thick.

Step 5

Pour the batter into the prepared pan and spread it out evenly with a spatula.

Step 6

Bake in the preheated oven for 40-45 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center of the cake comes out clean.

Step 7

Allow the cake to cool in the pan for 10-15 minutes, then transfer it to a wire rack to cool completely.

Step 8

If desired, sift powdered sugar over the cooled cake for a lovely garnish.

Step 9

Slice and serve! Store any leftovers in an airtight container for up to 3 days.
