Cyn! Eureka! I think I found it in my clipped recipes- Poppy Seed Cake with Orange Glaze
This is from the Sept. 1992 issue of Bon Appetit- since they reprint recipes through the years it very well could be "the one"- I hope so.
Poppy Seed Cake with Orange Glaze
8 servings
2-3/4 c sugar
1 c corn oil
3 large eggs
1-1/2 tsp vanilla extract
1 tsp almond extract
3 c all purpose flour
2 tbsp poppy seeds
1-1/2 tsp baking powder
1/2 tsp salt
1-1/2 c milk
Glaze:
1 c powdered sugar
1/4 c orange juice
1/4 tsp almond extract
For cake: preheat oven to 350 degrees. Grease and flour 12-cup Bundt pan. Using electric mixer, beat first 5 ingredients in large bowl to blend. Mix flour, poppy seeds, baking powder and salt in medium bowl. Stir dry ingredients alternately with milk into sugar mixture, beginning and ending wiht dry ingredients. Pour batter into prepared pan. Bake until tester inserted near center comes out clean, about 50 minutes. Cool cake in pan on rack 10 minutes.
Meanwhile, prepare glaze: Whisk all ingredients in small bowl to blend.
Turn out cake onto rack. Spoon glaze over warm cake. Cool cake completely. Slice and serve.
