• Bake: Bake for 55 to 65 minutes or until an inserted toothpick in the center of the loaf comes out clean.
• Make glaze: While the cake is baking, make the lemon glaze by whisking the powdered sugar, lemon juice and vanilla extract. This glaze needs to be quite runny, so add milk as needed, about a tbsp at a time until the desired consistency is achieved.

Steps:

• Pour the buttermilk into a 2-cup liquid measuring cup, stir in the poppy seeds, and set aside at room temperature for at least 2 hours.
• Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F. Thoroughly spray the inside of a Bundt pan with the baking spray and set aside.
• In the bowl of an electric mixer fitted with the paddle attachment, cream the butter and 2 cups of the granulated sugar on medium speed for about 5 minutes, until light yellow and fluffy. With the mixer on low, add the eggs, one at a time, the vanilla, and lemon zest, scraping down the bowl with a rubber spatula.
• Sift the flour, cornstarch, salt, baking powder, and baking soda into a medium bowl. Add 1/4 cup of the lemon juice to the buttermilk mixture. With the mixer on low speed, alternately add the flour mixture and buttermilk mixture in thirds, beginning and ending with the flour. Scrape the bowl with a rubber spatula to be sure the batter is well mixed. Spoon the batter into the prepared pan, smooth the top, and bake for 40 to 50 minutes, until a cake tester comes out clean.
• Meanwhile, place the remaining 1/2 cup of granulated sugar and the remaining 1/2 cup of lemon juice in a small saucepan and cook over high heat until the sugar dissolves. Set aside. When the cake is done, allow it to cool in the pan for 10 minutes, then turn it out onto a baking rack set over a large plate. Spoon the warm lemon syrup slowly over the cake, allowing it to be absorbed into the cake. Set aside for at least 30 minutes to cool.

• Bake in the preheated oven for 50-60 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center of the cake comes out clean. Let cool in pan for 15 minutes, then turn out onto a wire rack and cool completely. Sometimes when my cake does not want to come out bundt pan, I run a bamboo meat skewer (long, skinny stick) along some of the edges to help it out. This does not seem to leave a lasting dent on the cake later.
• Glaze:.
• In saucepan, mix powdered sugar, orange and lemon juice together. Bring to a boil on medium heat, reduce to low and simmer for 2 minutes. Should be a syrupy consistency.
• Pour half of the glazing into the bundt pan, then carefully line up the patterns on the cake with the patterns on the pan and put the cake back into the pan on top of the glazing. Pour the remaining glazing on top of the cake and let all of it soak inches Wait a couple of minutes until all the glazing has soaked inches Turn the cake onto a serving platter. Enjoy.
