Poppy Seed Bundt Cake I recipe

1 servings

1/4 cup poppy seeds

1 cup buttermilk

1 cup butter

1 1/2 cups white sugar

4 eggs

1 teaspoon vanilla extract

2 1/2 cups all-purpose flour

1 teaspoon baking soda

1/2 teaspoon salt

1 1/2 tablespoons ground cinnamon

1/2 cup white sugar

Preheat oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C), grease a 10 inch bundt pan.

Mix together cinnamon and 1/2 cup sugar.

Sprinkle part of the cinnamon sugar mixture evenly over greased pan.

This will form a thin crust over the cake.

Set aside the remaining cinnamon sugar mixture.

Soak poppy seed in buttermilk for 6 to 8 hours or overnight.

Cream butter and 1 1/2 cup sugar until light and fluffy.

Add eggs one at a time, beating well after each addition.

Add vanilla.

Sift flour, salt and soda together.

Add to butter mixture alternately with the poppy seed mixture.

Blend well.

Put the batter in the pan in layers, sprinkling the reserved cinnamon sugar mixture between each layer.

If you spread your batter thin, you should get three layers of cinnamon sugar.

Bake at 350 degrees F (175 degrees C) for 50 minutes or until a toothpick inserted comes out clean.

Set cake on rack to cool for one hour.
