Recipe Instructions

Step 1
Beat sugar and butter together in a bowl with an electric mixer until light; beat in eggs, one at a time, mixing well after each addition. Reduce mixing speed and add poppy seeds, lemon zest, and vanilla extract.
Step 2
Combine flour, salt, baking soda, and baking powder in another bowl. Beat in flour mixture slowly, alternating with buttermilk.
Step 3
Spoon batter into the prepared pan.
Step 4
Bake in the preheated oven until a toothpick inserted into the center of the cake comes out clean, 65 to 75 minutes.
