Simply AMAZING. I only had skim milk, so I added a splash of whipping cream and a sliver of butter to the milk (and heated for 30 seconds before adding to the rest of the mix. I also squeezed a whole lemon into the batter, for an added lemony taste, and reduced the poppy seeds to a little less than 1/4 cup. I was just sad that I didn't have any leftovers for myself since it was a hostess gift :( I could use another slice right now.

Genuine. Before I made this recipe, I read and re-read. Final cake was full of flavor and texture. End result was same as a pound cake sold in grocery stores...freezer section...and had the additional texture of poppyseeds. Recipe is a keeper. Annie , Fremont, CA

I was hesitant to make this after reading the reviews, some were great, some too dry etc. However, I couldnt pass up a new poppyseed recipe. The loaf was delicious, it had a nice "hint of lemon" (but still destinguishable and just sweet enough. My husband, with the sweet tooth, really liked it too. (he does want to try it with icing next time! I would definitely recommend this one,
it was lovely!

I absolutely love lemon seed poppy cake/muffins and I decided to make this recipe for a brunch the other day. I followed the recipe as written, and noticed before adding the final 3rd of the flour, that the consistency of the mix was actually good at that point. I dumped the rest of the flour in anyway as the recipe said, but I think my instinct was right. It turned out very dense and quite dry. Also, the flavor of the lemon didn't come through. I added extra lemon zest as well. It was really strange and I wonder if the proportions are right.
I would suggest playing it by ear and if you are a seasoned baker to trust your gut. If the batter doesn't look right, chances are that the baked product isn't going to turn out the way you think!

This recipe called for the pan to be lined with wax paper. This started my oven smoking and a horrible smell throughout my house. I poured the batter out into a greased pan and baked it that way. The taste is good. Next time around, I would only put in half the poppy seeds. Way too much for my taste.

I would have liked it to have a stronger lemon flavor, but it had a nice overall taste.
