This quick whole poppy seed cake uses cup measurements, and the batter comes together in five minutes. Beat eggs with sugar, then add semi-coarse wheat flour, baking powder, a cup of whole poppy seeds, oil, and milk. Bake the cake on a smaller baking sheet for about 30 minutes at 180 °C (350 °F), then spread it with a smooth glaze of powdered sugar, lemon juice, and hot water while it is still warm. The glaze adds shine and a bright lemon flavor.

Instructions
Tip: tap a step to mark it as done.
Beat the eggs with the sugar, then add the flour, baking powder, whole poppy seeds, oil, and milk and mix to combine. Pour the batter into a greased and floured baking sheet.
Bake in an oven preheated to 180 °C (350 °F) for about 30 minutes. Meanwhile, make the glaze by thoroughly mixing the powdered sugar with the lemon juice, hot water, and oil until smooth and glossy.
Spread the glaze over the cake while it is still warm and let the glaze set.
Tip: Add the hot water to the glaze a few drops at a time; it should be about as thick as honey. If it is too thin, it will soak into the warm cake, leaving a sticky surface instead of a glossy layer.
