This cake was a bit too lemony for my taste, but my husband loved it. I'll probably make it again, but I'll use less lemon juice next time.

This cake was a disappointment. It was dry and the glaze was too thick and goopy. I won't be making this again.

This cake was a bit too sweet for my taste, but it was still good. I think next time I'll use less sugar in the glaze.

I'm not usually a fan of poppy seed cakes, but this one changed my mind. The lemon flavor was so refreshing and zesty, and the poppy seeds added a nice crunchy texture. I'll definitely be making this cake again!

This poppy seed lemon cake was a delightful treat! The combination of flavors was perfect – the tangy lemon and the nutty poppy seeds complemented each other beautifully. The cake itself was moist and fluffy, and the glaze added a lovely finishing to
