Instructions
 

  • Set an oven rack in the center and preheat the oven to 325ºF (162ºC).
  • Zest and juice your lemons and set aside.
  • In a medium sized bowl, combine flour, baking powder, baking soda, salt and poppy seeds and set aside. 
  • With a hand-held mixer or stand mixer fitted with the paddle attachment, mix on medium, the butter, oil, honey and vanilla until light and fluffy. About 4 minutes. Scrape down the sides and bottom of the bowl half way through.
  • With the mixer running on medium, drizzle in the lemon juice and mix for an additional minute.
  • Add the eggs one at a time and mix well after each egg is added. Scrape down the sides and bottom of the bowl as needed.
  • Add buttermilk and lemon zest and mix on medium until well combined. About 1 minute.
  • In 2 additions, add the dry ingredients (flour, baking powder, baking soda, poppy seeds & salt) and mix on low just until combined. Do not overmix.
  • Transfer batter to a greased 10-cup bundt pan and bake for 40 minutes or until an inserted toothpick comes out clean.
  • Allow to sit in the pan for 20 minutes, then invert onto a cooling rack and allow to cool.
  • Meanwhile, make your lemon honey glaze by combining confectioners sugar, lemon juice, vanilla and honey. If you like a little thicker glaze add less lemon juice. Pour over your cooled cake and enjoy!
