Poppy Seed Cake

Didn't someone a while back ask for a poppy seed cake recipe?

1 1/4 cups milk
1/4 cup orange juice
1/4 cup poppy seeds
1 1/2 cups granulated sugar
2/3 cup shortening
2 eggs
2 teaspoons baking powder
1/2 teaspoon baking soda
Orange rind strips, for garnish, optional
Glaze:
1 cup powdered sugar
1 1/2 tablespoons orange juice

Preparation Instructions:

1. In a small bowl, combine milk, orange juice and poppy seeds. Set aside.

2. In a medium bowl, cream sugar and shortening. Beat in eggs, one at a time until smooth. Beat in orange rind.

3. Combine flour, baking powder and baking soda. Beat dry ingredients into creamed mixture alternately with milk mixture, beginning and ending with dry ingredients.

4. Spoon batter into a greased 10 inch Bundt or tube cake pan.

5. Bake at 350 degrees for 45 to 55 minutes, or until toothpick comes out clean.

6. Allow to cool in pan 20 minutes.

7. Remove cake from pan. Cool on a rack.

8. Combine powdered sugar and orange juice to make a thick glaze.

9. To serve, drizzle cake with glaze. Garnish with orange rind strips, if desired.

Tips: To make orange rind strips for garnish, cut rind from an orange with a vegetable peeler. With a sharp knife, cut it into very thin strips. Toss them until they begin to curl.
