Elle's Mother's Lemon Poppy Seed Cake

This is another easy, delicious and elegant cake to have on hand. Perfect for breakfast with coffee, a mid-day snack or for dessert. Not only it is versatile but, it lasts well covered in saran wrap on the kitchen counter....unless you have folks around that nibble at it all day in which case, it disappears quickly lol!
