"This lemon poppy seed bundt cake is full of fresh lemon flavor! Don't skip the simple syrup; it's the best part. Bundt cakes are usually a little heavier, so don't expect a super light texture. Soft and cakey, most definitely. Avoid overbaking, which can dry out your cake. Read the recipe in full before beginning. You will need 4 and 1/2 large lemons total. Yield: serves 10..."
