When I was in St John's with my dad, my mom and I were staying with my cousin and her new husband. He was a big fan of food (who isn't?!) and sweets! They had just come back from their honey moon and he kept going on about this Lemon Poppy Seed cake he had at one of the buffets and how wonderful it was. I remembered my neigbor and friend Debi making a delicious cake and emailed her for the recipe! I didn't realize how simple it was so I got the ingredients and whipped one up!
It was a hit! Here is the recipe!
