  1. If you miss the lemon poppy seed bunt cakes that were once offered at Panera Bread, this is the recipe for you! <br/><br/>I used to work at Panera and I have to say this cake is absolutely delicious and spot-on. I have made this cake as mini bundts as well as one large bundt and both turned out beautifully! This recipe is definitely a keeper.
     
  2. This was a very delicious cake! Good lemony flavour, moist and the slices looked very pretty and appealing with the poppy seeds. In the instruction it did not say when to add the 1/4 cup poppy seeds, I gathered they should be added with the flour mix.<br/>The cake needed a little more than 50 minutes to bake but then, ovens vary.<br/>I did not pour glace 1 on the cake but made a syrup and put it in a bottle. Then, with every slice of the cake I poured on a little syrup. Glace 2 I omitted since we are not fond of frosting.<br/>I highly recommend this cake, very good indeed.<br/>Thanks for posting.
     
  3. Got two bags of fresh lemons from family in Tucson. Good excuse, right? Used two lemons for fresh peel and juice. This cake has the nicest lemon flavor and fragrance, it's not too sweet and I really liked using Greek yogurt, which kept the cake moist. I did not glaze and it was still delicious. A keeper, LOVE IT!
     
  4. Wonderful Cake. Very moist and dense. The yogurt adds a great touch. I like to substituye yoghurt (good quality Greek) when I can. I did add about 1/4 cup of poppy seeds to the dry mixture to have inside the cake. The glaze is your choice - the thinner versi?n you add on while it is cooling, or the one with confectioners sugar, which is thicker.
     
  5. Followed direction exactly, Cake rose then sank and appeared not to be cooked through entire cake, even though toothpick came out clean. Shucks.
