recipe for lemon poppy seed cake with lemon glaze

Whole Wheat Lemon Poppy Seed Cake with Lemon Glaze

Given his druthers, one of my kids would have all manner of bread and cheese – grilled cheese, quesadillas, pizza – at all meals. And snacks. So it’s odd (to me) that his favorite muffin is lemon poppy seed.  Crunchy, tangy, sweet and sour.  I made this cake for him because who doesn’t want cake for breakfast? Or for snack with unsweetened tea.  If you bake it in a pie pan as shown here, it looks fancier than it really is. But it’s light and sweet with glaze, and even for those who primarily love bread and cheese, it makes for a good start to the day…especially if that day happens to be your 12th birthday.
