Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 2.5 cups All-purpose flour
- 1.5 cups Granulated sugar
- 0.25 cups Poppy seeds
- 1 tablespoon Baking powder
- 0.5 teaspoons Salt
- 1 cup Butter, unsalted (softened)
- 4 large Eggs
- 0.75 cups Whole milk
- 1 teaspoon Vanilla extract
- 0.5 teaspoons Almond extract
- 1 large Zest of lemon
- 0.25 cups Powdered sugar (optional, for dusting)
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and generously grease and flour a 10-inch Bundt pan.
In a medium bowl, whisk together the flour, sugar, poppy seeds, baking powder, and salt. Set aside.
In a large mixing bowl, beat the softened butter with an electric mixer on medium speed until creamy and light, about 2 minutes.
Add the eggs one at a time to the butter, beating well after each addition.
Reduce the mixer speed to low and gradually alternate adding the dry ingredients and milk to the butter mixture, starting and ending with the dry ingredients. Mix until just combined.
Stir in the vanilla extract, almond extract, and lemon zest until evenly incorporated.
Pour the batter into the prepared Bundt pan and smooth the top with a spatula.
Bake in the preheated oven for 45–50 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center of the cake comes out clean.
Let the cake cool in the pan for 10–15 minutes, then carefully invert it onto a wire rack to cool completely.
Once the cake is fully cooled, dust the top with powdered sugar before serving, if desired.
Slice and enjoy your Poppy Seed Coffee Cake Bundt with your favorite cup of coffee or tea!
