What a fantastic recipe ! I omitted the poppyseeds to suit my family but the texture, moistness and taste was just great. This is a winner, a great cake that I will surely do over and over. Thanx Joolz

Forget your local coffee shop gormet cake...this one's a winner. Delicious. Only complaint is that it's a bit on the sweet side. Could stand a bit less sugar.

very easy to make tastes yummy. I made a sour cream frosting for this and it matched the cake beautifully. The only critisism I have is that you couldn't really taste any white chocolate.
