As for cake, here is one of my favorite (and most requested) recipes, so you can make and eat some cake of your own.
Poppy Seed Cake
3 eggs
2 1/2 c. sugar
1 1/2 c. milk
1 1/8 c. canola oil
1 1/2 T. poppy seeds
1 1/2 tsp. vanilla extract
1 1/2 tsp. almond extract
1 1/2 tsp. butter flavor
3 c. flour
1 1/2 tsp. salt
1 1/2 tsp. baking powder
Preheat oven to 350 degrees. Mix eggs, sugar, milk, oil, seeds and extracts. Add dry ingredients and combine. Pour into large bundt pan (filling only 2/3 full) and bake at 350 degrees for about 45 minutes. Prepare glaze (recipe below) while the cake is baking. When baking is complete, remove and let cool 5 minutes, then invert onto cooling rack. Immediately pour on glaze, covering entire cake well. *HINT: Place a cookie sheet under the cooling rack while you pour glaze so that you can catch the excess that drips off the cake and add it back on.
GLAZE:
3/4 c. sugar
1/4 c. orange juice
1/2 tsp. vanilla extract
1/2 tsp. almond extract
1/2 tsp. butter flavor
Combine and stir until sugar dissolves.
By George, that sounds good!
