Poppy Seed Cake



I can't remember the exact memory of when our neighbor Tammy brought this moist wonderful tasting cake over.  She was truly my idol when it came to cooking, she was the best! Everything she made was always a "slice of heaven" I was so grateful to get this recipe from her, now you get to enjoy it too!
                        Poppy Seed Cake
              (I use a Bundt pan for this)
1/2 c. vegetable oil 
1 small box instant French vanilla pudding
2 tsp. almond extract
2 Tbsp. poppy seeds
1 yellow cake mix
4 eggs
1 c. Water
**Mix all ingredients and beat for 3 min.  Place in a well greased and floured Bundt pan.  Bake at 350F for 45 min. Or until done by inserting a toothpick( mine is usually done at about 35 to 40 min)
Glaze:  2c. Powder sugar,  3 Tbsp. whipping cream or evaporated milk(may need more, I use this to make it rich :)) , 1/4 c. Butter( 1/2 cube) softened, 1/2 tsp. vanilla and almond extract
Beat butter until smooth, add powder sugar, then milk and flavorings until thick but not as thick as a frosting, spread onto cake when it is cooled.   I like to decorate with sprinkles of the season. Enjoy the moans of delight!
