Mamie's Poppy Seed Cake

This is a recipe that comes from my grandma (Mamie) and for Christmas this year she gave me and my little brother a bundt cake pan, the recipe to the cake, and even a new container of poppy seeds. She totally caught me off guard but what an awesome gift to give! Now I will admit that I am better at cooking meals than baked sweets (I can't get my consistencies ever to work), but this recipe is really easy to make and is simply scrumptious.

Poppy Seed Cake

• 1 box Duncan Hines Butter Golden Cake mix
• 8 oz sour cream
• 1/2 cup sugar
• 4 eggs
• 3/4 cup Crisco oil
• 1/4 cup poppy seeds
• 1 tsp vanilla extract

Glaze:

• 1/2 stick butter
• 1 tsp vanilla extract
• 2 Tbsp milk
• 1 cup powdered sugar

After mixing all the ingredients for the cake together, grease cake pan with Pam. Pour mixture into bundt cake pan and bake for 45 minutes - 1 hour in 350 degree oven. While cake is in over, mix ingredients to make the glaze. 

Cake is done when it pulls away from the pan and can be tested by sticking a tooth pick in the cake and having it come out clean with no batter. After cake is baked and still warm, turn over the cake on to a platter. Punch holes into cake with a fork and pour the glaze all over the cake.
