EASY POPPY SEED CAKE

Ingredients
1 package yellow cake mix
1 (3.4 oz.) package vanilla instant pudding
1 cup water
4 eggs
3 tablespoons flour
2 teaspoons almond extract
1 tablespoon poppy seeds
½ cup oil

Glaze
1 cup confectioner's sugar
1 teaspoon almond extract
2 tablespoons milk
 
Directions
Preheat oven to 350 degrees.  Generously grease a bundt pan.  In a large bowl, mix all ingredients together with an electric mixer until well blended. Pour batter into prepared pan. Bake for 45-50 minutes or until toothpick inserted in center comes out clean.  Let cake cool for 10-15 minutes before turning out onto rack to cool completely. Stir ingredients for glaze together in a small bowl.  Spoon over cooled cake, allowing glaze to run down the sides.

Let's Dish
This cake is simple, easy, and everyone loves it.  It strikes me as a springtime dessert, so I often make it for Easter.  For a lemon version, substitute a lemon cake mix for the yellow, and lemon extract for the almond in both the cake and the glaze.  This recipe also makes great loaves and muffins.

Who Dished It Up First
