A lemon poppyseed cake where you can actually taste the poppyseeds; it's moist, lemony, and most importantly, super simple. In this recipe, the poppyseeds are ground down to release their flavor before marbling into the cake batter and the cake is soaked with a lemon syrup right after baking to ensure you get that tart lemony flavor!
