ALMOND POPPY SEED CAKE WITH FLUFFY CREAM CHEESE FROSTING
I won't rave about how good this cake is, just try it and you will see for yourself! if you do not want to use all the icing it may be frozen, the icing is still wonderful without the addition of the Cool Whip, so you may omit if desired but I like it better with it added in :)

Tips:
- Use room temperature ingredients: This will help the cake batter come together more smoothly and evenly.
- Cream the butter and sugar until light and fluffy: This will help incorporate air into the batter, resulting in a lighter, more tender cake.
- Gradually add the eggs: This will help prevent the batter from curdling.
- Do not overmix the batter: Overmixing can result in a tough, dense cake.
- Bake the cake until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean: This will ensure that the cake is cooked through.
- Let the cake cool completely before frosting: This will help prevent the frosting from melting.
- For a smoother frosting, cream the butter and cream cheese until light and fluffy before adding the sugar.
- If the frosting is too thick, add a little bit of milk or cream until it reaches the desired consistency.
- Garnish the cake with poppy seeds, sliced almonds, or fresh fruit before serving.
