Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 325°F and prepare a bundt pan with nonstick baking spray.
- In a large bowl, combine the flour, poppy seeds, baking powder, and salt. Whisk together.
- In a stand mixer, combine sugar and lemon zest. Rub together for a few minutes until fragrant and pale yellow. Add butter, brown sugar, and oil. Mix on medium speed until light and fluffy.
- Reduce speed and add eggs one at a time, mixing well after each addition. Scrape the sides of the bowl and incorporate lemon emulsion, vanilla, and almond extract.
- Gradually mix in half of the dry ingredients. Add sour cream, lemon juice, and milk, mixing until just combined. Finish with the remaining dry ingredients until smooth.
- Bake for 70-80 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted comes out clean.
- Prepare the lemon simple syrup by heating water and sugar in a saucepan until dissolved. Stir in lemon juice and let cool.
- Allow the cake to cool in the pan for 10 minutes before transferring to a wire rack. Brush with the lemon syrup.
- Make the glaze by beating cream cheese until smooth, then adding powdered sugar, melted butter, lemon juice, poppy seeds, and milk. Mix until smooth.
- Pour the glaze over the cooled cake just before serving.
