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

    Sift the first 4 ingriedients together in a large bowl.

  1. Mix in the poppyseeds until they’re evening distributed.
  2. 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?!
