Need Lemon Poppy Seed with Raspberry filling cake recipe!
I have been scouring the web for a good recipe and I've come up with many similar recipes but not one that is perfect. I have also had way too many crumbly dry poppy seed cakes and I'd like to avoid this. One recipe I came upon suggested soaking the poppy seeds in milk for 2 hours prior to mixing the cake, which might help with the dryness. I also have the cream cheese frosting down pat, as that is the only kind I make (I despise butter cream). If you have a really good, moist poppy seed cake recipe and or a recipe for a rasberry filling, please, please share! I am on a two fold mission, practicing cakes for my son's first b-day in July and making my own b-day cake for this Sunday (as no one else around here cooks). Thanks a million!!!!

I stayed up to wish you HAPPY BIRTHDAY waterreflecting! I hope you found some ideas on the other request for poppy seed cake that included some recipes with lemon. Is this your first birthday as a mother? Did you make your cake yet? I hope you'll have the best day ever!
Care to share your cream cheese icing recipe? I'd also love to hear what cake you ended up making and if it turned out the way you wanted, share that too please

Happy Birthday waterreflecting! Hope you baked a nice cake for yourself!:-) I LOVE poppy seed cakes (or poppy seed anything for that matter, from bagels, to rolls, to roulades), but don't do that much cake-baking since my husband is lactose intolerant and I wouldn't bake a whole cake all for myself. I do remember having a good recipe for a very moist poppy seed cake (it certainly had milk in it), and if you are still interested, I could try and look for it (it's my Gran's recipe, from pre-computer times, but I do remember what the piece of paper it's written on looks like, so I probably can dig it out:-)). In any case - happy birthday! Hope you have a wonderful day!
