Poppy Seed Swirl Citrus Cake

About the Recipe: Poppyseeds and citrus flavors are a popular flavor pairing for desserts, especially in Eastern Europe countries. Adding a chocolate syrup over the cake, created flowing drizzles down its sides and brought back those happy childhood mix-it-in chocolate memories. The chocolate swirls within the cake add a fancy touch and delightful fudgy flavor.

Recipe Inspired by:  Kim Kushner, The Modern Table, recipe Lemon-Poppy Seed Swirl Cake p.164

Cook’s Note:  Our cake baked for 50 minutes and tested done. The orange/lemon flavor was faint so I think that I would add a little Grand Marnier orange liqueur or orange extract for a brighter citrus flavor since my family loves oranges and chocolate. I always use Baker’s Joy no-stick Baking Spray when greasing my Bundt pan.

To remove from pan: Run a plastic knife along the sides and center of the Bundt pan to loosen the cake from the pan. Invert the cake onto a cake plate or platter; set aside to cool. Drizzle chocolate syrup on top and serve with additional chocolate syrup and fresh orange segments.

Yield: 1 (9-inch) Bundt Cake
