Ingredients

• 2.5 cups All-purpose flour
• 1.75 cups Granulated sugar
• 2 teaspoons Baking powder
• 0.5 teaspoons Salt
• 3 tablespoons Poppy seeds
• 1 cup Unsalted butter (room temperature)
• 4 Eggs (large)
• 2 teaspoons Vanilla extract
• 1 teaspoon Almond extract
• 1 cup Whole milk
• 1.25 cups Powdered sugar (for glaze)
• 2 tablespoons Fresh lemon juice (for glaze)
• 1 tablespoon Milk (for glaze)

Directions

Step 1

Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease and flour a 10-cup bundt pan thoroughly to prevent sticking.

Step 2

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

Step 3

Add the unsalted butter to the dry ingredients and mix with a hand or stand mixer on low speed until the mixture resembles coarse sand.

Step 4

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

Step 5

Gradually pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients, mixing on medium speed just until the batter comes together and is smooth.

Step 6

Pour the batter evenly into the prepared bundt pan and smooth the surface with a spatula.

Step 7

Bake the cake in the preheated oven for 45-50 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.

Step 8

Allow the cake to cool in the pan for 15 minutes, then carefully invert it onto a wire rack to cool completely.

Step 9

While the cake is cooling, prepare the glaze by whisking together the powdered sugar, fresh lemon juice, and milk in a small bowl until smooth.

Step 10

Drizzle the glaze over the cooled bundt cake, letting it cascade down the sides for an elegant finish.

Step 11

Allow the glaze to set for 15 minutes before slicing the cake. Serve and enjoy!
