Almond Poppy Seed Bundt Cake




I recently left a job after 5 years in the department and I made this as my farewell cake.  My previous co-workers have been taste testing my cakes and other baked goods for years and it was fitting that I made one of my favorite cakes as my last one.  This recipe is a keeper!

Ingredients:
1 pkg yellow cake mix
1 (3.4 oz) pkg instant french vanilla pudding mix
1 cup thick sour cream
4 eggs
1/2 cup water
1 tsp almond extract
1/2 cup butter melted
1/4 cup poppy seeds - no this is not a typo it really does take 1/4 cup

Instructions:
1. Combine all ingredients with an electric mixer on medium speed for 5 min.
2. Pour into well buttered bundt pan
3. Bake 350 for 45 min
4. Cool 10-15 min then turn over onto serving plate

Icing Recipe:
8 oz cream cheese softened
1/4 cup butter softened
1.5 cups powdered sugar
1 tsp. vanilla

Beat until mixed and ice or spread on the bundt cake.
