How to Make Lindsey's Lemon Poppy Seed Cake

  1. Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease and flour a 9x13 inch baking pan.
  2. In a large bowl, whisk together the flour, baking powder, baking soda, and salt.
  3. In a separate bowl, cream together the butter and sugar until light and fluffy. Beat in the eggs one at a time, then stir in the lemon zest and poppy seeds.
  4. Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients, mixing until just combined. Be careful not to overmix.
  5. Pour batter into the prepared pan and spread evenly.
  6. Bake for 35-40 minutes, or until a wooden skewer inserted into the center comes out clean.
  7. Let the cake cool completely in the pan before frosting.
  8. While the cake cools, prepare the lemon filling: In a medium bowl, whisk together the lemon pie filling and milk according to package directions.
  9. Once the cake is completely cool, spread the lemon pie filling evenly over the top.
  10. In a separate bowl, gently fold the Cool Whip into the prepared lemon pudding mix until combined.
  11. Spread the pudding mixture evenly over the lemon pie filling.
  12. Refrigerate for at least 2 hours before serving to allow the flavors to meld and the frosting to set.
  13. Enjoy your delicious Lindsey's Lemon Poppy Seed Cake!
