  3. Beat in the eggs one at a time, then stir in the vanilla extract.
  4. In a separate bowl, whisk together the flour, baking powder, baking soda, and salt.
  5. Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients, mixing until just combined.
  6. Stir in the instant banana pudding mix and poppy seeds.
  7. Pour batter into the prepared pan and spread evenly.
  8. Bake for 55 minutes, or until a wooden skewer inserted into the center comes out clean.
