Almond Poppy Seed Cake

---

I usually try to stay away from recipes with box-ingredients because i'm not likely to have them on hand, but this cake is worth it. the butter-cinnamon-sugar crust is so yummy. i suppose you could frost or glaze it but i never do because it just doesn't need it. everyone loves it just as it is.

---

Pour into bundt pan and bake at 350f for about 50 minutes.

---

Invert pan on a funnel or bottle and let it cool about five minutes.
