Lemon Poppy Seed Cake

Yesterday my son ask me to bake him a cake;
something with a great smell and an even better great aftertaste..

Both of us love lemon cake and I told him about this Lemon Poppy seed cake.
He loved the idea! - so without thinking twice, I told him - go ahead, do it.

I was so proud to see my son in the kitchen mixing and pouring reading the recipe and doing everything.

When the cake finally came out the oven, after we all tasted it we could not complement him enough! -
