How to Make Poppy Seed Snack Cake

  1. Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease and flour two 8 1/2 x 4 1/2 x 2 1/2 inch loaf pans.
  2. In a large mixing bowl, combine 1 box (15.25 oz) yellow cake mix, 1 (3.4 oz) package instant vanilla pudding mix, 4 large eggs, 1 cup water, and 1/2 cup vegetable oil.
  3. Beat with an electric mixer on medium speed for 2 minutes.
  4. Gently fold in 1/4 cup poppy seeds.
  5. Pour batter evenly into the prepared loaf pans.
  6. Bake for 35-40 minutes, or until a wooden skewer inserted into the center comes out clean.
  7. Let the cakes cool in the pans for 10 minutes before inverting them onto wire racks to cool completely.
