Almond Poppy Seed Bundt cake recipe

I’ve always loved almond poppy seed – never really got into the whole lemon poppy seed thing – even though I adore lemon too! The Almond is my mom’s favorite so that’s probably why… Anyway I also love almond cake period! so when I signed up to bring a bundt cake to a church event I figured it was time to make a twist on a favorite cake of mine!

This recipe could easily be a quick bread, or muffin too – but I just love using it as a light cake – but since it CAN stand along without a ton of filling like some cake it makes a GREAT bundt cake.  Personally I still don’t “get” the whole bundt thing… but since that’s the dessert they asked for that’s what they are gonna get from me!
