White Chocolate Orange Poppy Seed Cake

This is based off a combination of 2 recipes I found on this site. I had to tweak each to make one that would use up all the ingredients I had on hand. This cake tastes even better the second day and, although you can glaze it with a simple orange glaze, I like it without any glaze. It tastes great with morning coffee!

Ingredients

• 1  cup poppy seed

1. Preheat oven to 350 degrees Fahrenheit and grease and flour a bundt pan.
2. Stir together poppyseeds and boiling water.
3. Add cake mix, pudding mix, orange extract, and oil.
4. Stir together and let mixture cool a minute before adding eggs.
5. Beat on high speed with an electric mixer for 4 minutes.
