Number Of Ingredients 19

For Double Lemon-Poppy Seed Bundt Cake:
1/4 cup poppy seeds
1 1/2 cups whole-wheat pastry flour (see Ingredient note)
1 cup all-purpose flour
1 1/2 teaspoons baking powder
1/2 teaspoon baking soda
1/4 teaspoon salt
1 cup buttermilk or equivalent buttermilk powder (see Tip)
1/4 cup canola oil
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
2 tablespoons freshly grated lemon zest
2 tablespoons lemon juice
2 large eggs, at room temperature (see Tip)
2 large egg whites, at room temperature
1 1/4 cups sugar or 1/2 cup plus 2 tablespoons Splenda Sugar Blend for Baking
For Lemon glaze:
3/4 cup confectioners' sugar, plus more for dusting
3 tablespoons lemon juice
1 tablespoon water

Steps:

  • Preheat oven to 350°F. Coat a 10-inch (12-cup) Bundt pan, preferably nonstick, with cooking spray and dust with flour (or use cooking spray with flour). Toast poppy seeds in a small dry skillet over medium heat, stirring constantly, until fragrant, 3 to 4 minutes. Transfer to a plate to cool. Whisk whole-wheat flour, all-purpose flour, baking powder, baking soda, salt and the poppy seeds in a medium bowl. Combine buttermilk, oil, vanilla, lemon zest and lemon juice in a glass measuring cup. Beat eggs, egg whites and sugar (or Splenda) in a large bowl with an electric mixer on high speed until thickened and pale, about 5 minutes. Fold the dry ingredients into the egg mixture with a rubber spatula, a third at a time, alternating with 2 additions of the buttermilk mixture. Scrape the batter into the prepared pan, spreading evenly. Bake the cake until the top springs back when touched lightly and a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean, 35 to 40 minutes. Let cool in the pan on a wire rack for 5 minutes. Loosen the edges and turn the cake out onto the rack. Meanwhile, prepare glaze: Sift 3/4 cup confectioners' sugar into a small bowl; mix with lemon juice and water to create a thin glaze.Poke 1-inch-deep holes all over the cake with a skewer. Coat the warm cake with the glaze using a pastry brush. Let cool completely. To serve, set the cake on a serving plate and dust with confectioners' sugar.

This cake is divine! Seriously, it's the best lemon poppy seed bundt cake I've ever had. The texture is so moist and fluffy, and the lemon flavor is perfectly balanced. I can't wait to make it again!

Not bad. It was easy to make. The taste was good, but a bit too sweet for my taste. Next time, I'll try reducing the amount of sugar.
