I couldn't find a lemon poppy seed cake that sounded like what I wanted, so I started with the oil based wasc (half recipe), and added from there. It's great with almond sour cream icing.

Lemon PoppySeed WASC variation

Ingredients

  • 1 box white cake mix 1 cup flour 2/3 cup sugar 1 box lemon pudding ½ t salt 2 heaping tbsp poppy seeds 4 eggs 2 tbsp veg oil 2/3 c water 2/3 c lemon juice zest of 2 lemons 1 cup sour cream

Instructions

  1. Sift the first 4 ingriedients together in a large bowl.
  2. Mix in the poppyseeds until they're evening distributed.
  3. Add all remaining ingredients and mix for about 2 minutes.
  4. Bake for 45 minutes on 325.
  5. (my oven is old and I haven't check the temps in awhile, so don't quote me on that!) Even though they were only 9in rounds, I used a flower nail in each due to how thick the batter was. I don't know if it was necessary, but it worked for me. :-)
  6. Nutrition? What on earth is that?!

Are you using instant pudding and what size box or oz for the pudding?

I use a 3.4 ounce instant pudding box (the small box). I've used box regular and sugar free with equal success.

What goes in No. 3??
mandyloo 12/4/10 at 8:01pm
mamcole: I have no idea where number 3 went! Number 3 is: Pour (or really, spoon it, as it's rather thick) the batter into your prepared pan(s). I use 3 8x2 rounds or one 9x13

Is the salt just supposed to be 1/2 tsp? Or is the A that is in front of the 1/2 supposed to be a 1 to make it 1 1/2 tsp salt???

great cake! If you double the recipe, it will do a 11x15x2 pan. Yes on the flower nail..but I didn't use bake right strip. Needs to cook about 75 minutes.

This recipe was amazing! It was a total hit with raspberry filling. Thank you!

I made this last weekend for my son's 1st Holy Communion cake. It was amazing! Stayed so moist. Only problem was, I didn't anticipate the volume changing so much from the box mix, so I (stupidly) used 2 boxes of mix and doubled the recipe. I had enough batter to fill the Wilton Cross pan 3 times. But it tasted great!!
