Recipe Instructions:
-
Soak Poppy Seeds: In a bowl, combine the poppy seeds with milk and let them soak overnight to soften and infuse the milk with their flavor.
-
Prepare Batter: In a large mixing bowl, combine the cake mix, instant banana pudding mix, eggs, canola oil, and warm water. Beat the mixture well for about 3 minutes until smooth and creamy.
-
Incorporate Poppy Seeds: After the batter is well mixed, beat in the soaked poppy seeds along with the milk mixture. Continue to beat until everything is thoroughly combined.
-
Prepare Cocoa Mixture: In a separate bowl, mix together the cocoa powder, cinnamon, and white sugar to create the cocoa mixture.
-
Preheat Oven: Preheat your oven to 350 degrees Fahrenheit (175 degrees Celsius). If your bundt pan is not non-stick, grease and flour it to prevent sticking.
-
Layer Batter: Begin layering the cake batter alternately with the cocoa mixture in the prepared bundt pan. Avoid blending them together; instead, create a marbling effect by layering them separately.
-
Finish Layering: End with a layer of batter on top of the cocoa mixture.
-
Bake: Place the bundt pan in the preheated oven and bake for approximately 1 hour, or until a tester inserted into the center of the cake comes out clean.
-
Prepare Lemon Glaze: While the cake is still warm, mix the remaining lemon juice with granulated sugar until well combined to form a glaze.
-
Glaze Cake: Once the cake is baked and still warm, pour the lemon-sugar glaze over the top of the cake, allowing it to soak in and form a deliciously tangy coating.
-
Cool: Allow the cake to cool completely before slicing and serving. This will ensure that it sets properly and maintains its moist texture.
