I regularly make another lemon poppyseed cake, which is much more complicated so I thought I would give this one a shot since it is so simple. I don't know what when wrong, but it is terrible. It didn't rise at all and the glaze is so runny that it made the cake soggy on the top. Very dissapointed.

The cake looks good in the picture but mine did not rise very well, unless it's really not supposed to. The glaze was very runny but then again I don't know if that is how it was supposed to be. I have not tried it yet, I'm taking it to a cooking class tonight so I sure hope it turns out good.
