I've made thousands of this recipe, Orange & Poppyseed Cake. Back in the early 90's I owned a wholesale bakery and I used to deliver cakes from Palm Beach to North Sydney. This cake was one of my most popular ones I used to make.
So it is safe to say that the recipe is a good one :) and hopefully you will enjoy it too!
