Banana Poppyseed Cake

This cake is a great treat to serve to all your family and friends. It is a recipe adapted from Jamie Oliver's website. The combination of bananas, poppyseeds, and lemon does not exactly sound like a match made in heaven, but it really works. I baked the cake in a 12" springform pan and it took about 1 hour to bake. You can reduce the baking time depending on what pan you use. Top with a tart lemon icing to add a nice zing and cut through the richness of the cake.
