Author Notes
I love poppy seeds. I’m the kind of person who licks their finger to pick up all the stray poppy seeds that have fallen off their poppy seed bagel. This cake is moist, lemony, and rich in the way that all olive oil cakes are. It comes together with basic ingredients and two mixing bowls, and heats up well in the toaster the next day. The recipe is inspired by a Farmgirl's Dabbles Almond Poppy Seed Bread. —Joy Belamarich
