Glazed Lemon Poppy Seed Bundt Cake Recipe

 

Lemon Coffee Cake

A slice of glazed lemon poppy seed bundt cake is a satisfying treat, so it is perfect for dessert or to serve with afternoon tea. 

Lemon and poppy seeds go together well, and this bundt cake highlights both ingredients in a delicious way. 

The cake is definitely dessert-like, but the lemon taste feels light and bright. 

You can pour all of the glaze over the top of the cake or you can save some or all of it to drizzle over individual slices. 

This tasty cake is special enough to serve to guests, but is nice to bake at home just because. 

Enjoy!
