POPPY SEED BUNDT CAKE

1/4 cup poppy seeds
1 1/4 cup water
1 box yellow cake mix (2 layer size)
1/4 cup canola oil
3 eggs
Lemon glaze

Soak poppy seeds in the water for 30 minutes.

Preheat oven to 350 degrees.
Generously grease and flour a Bundt pan; set aside.

With an electric mixer blend the cake mix, oil, eggs, poppy seeds and water. Beat 4 minutes at medium speed.

Pour batter into the prepared pan and bake at 350 degrees 40-50 minutes or until cake springs back when touched lightly with finger tip.

Cool cake 10 minutes in the pan on a wire rack. Remove from pan and cool completely.

Drizzle cake with lemon glaze allowing it to run down the sides.

You can make a lemon glaze by mixing powdered sugar with lemon juice. Add a little water or milk to make of desired consistency, if needed.
