Ok this is GOOD. Kalissa just requested it for her birthday this year. If it passed the 5-year old taste test, it is good! Our birthday cakes has had to jump up several notches since being here in Colorado. Carnan has made this for her kids birthdays in the past when we were invited over...so Kalissa wanted this cake for hers! Can you say YUMMY!
1pkg yellow or white cake mix
1 pkg instant lemon pudding (small)
1 1/2 cups water
4 eggs
1/2 cup oil
1 TBS poppy seeds
Mix everything together except eggs. Add eggs 1 at a time. Beat well after each addition. Pour into a well greased & floured bundt cake pan.
