Phyllis Lidert - Oak Lawn, Illinois
Bake-Off® Contest 19, 1968 Grand Prize Winner
This lemon-poppy seed pound cake was so popular that Pillsbury developed a similar scratch recipe after a frosting mix, a key cake ingredient in the original recipe, no longer was available.


   CAKE
   1 pound (2 cups) butter, softened (do not use margarine)
   2 1/2 cups powdered sugar
   6 eggs
   2 teaspoons grated lemon peel
   3 tablespoons lemon juice
   4 cups all-purpose flour
   1 tablespoon baking powder
   1 (12 1/2-ounce) package poppy seeds filling
   
   GLAZE
   1 cup powdered sugar
   1 to 2 tablespoons lemon juice or milk


Heat oven to 350°F. In large bowl, beat butter until light and fluffy. Gradually add powdered sugar; mix well. At medium speed, add eggs 1 at a time, beating well after each addition. Beat in lemon peel and 3 tablespoons lemon juice. At low speed, gradually beat in flour and baking powder; blend well.

In medium bowl, combine 3 cups batter with poppy seed filling; blend well. Spread half of plain batter over bottom of ungreased 10-inch tube pan. Alternately add spoonfuls of poppy seed batter and remaining plain batter.

Bake at 350°F. for 1 hour and 15 minutes to 1 hour and 25 minutes or until toothpick inserted near center comes out clean. Cool 15 minutes; remove from pan. Cool completely.

In small bowl, combine glaze ingredients, adding enough lemon juice for desired drizzling consistency; blend until smooth. Drizzle over cake.

HIGH ALTITUDE - Above 3,500 feet: Increase flour in cake to 4 1/2 cups. Bake as directed above.
