That made me laugh.
Blueberry-Poppy Seed Brunch Cake makes me happy. This cake is pure ace.
It’s been a long time since I baked something with poppy seeds. I forgot how totally delicious they are. The combination of lemon and poppy seed in the cake layer and the moist blueberry filling is terrific.
