For the cake:

- 2 cups all-purpose flour
- 1 1/2 cups granulated sugar
- 1 tablespoon baking powder
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
- 1/2 cup unsalted butter, softened
- 1/2 cup vegetable oil
- 4 large eggs
- 1/2 cup fresh orange juice
- 1/4 cup fresh lemon juice
- 1 tablespoon orange zest
- 1 tablespoon lemon zest
- 1/4 cup poppy seeds

For the glaze:

- 1 cup powdered sugar
- 2 tablespoons fresh orange juice
- 1 tablespoon fresh lemon juice
- 1 tablespoon orange zest
- 1 tablespoon lemon zest
To start, preheat your oven to 350°F. Grease and flour a 9-inch cake pan. In a large mixing bowl, combine the flour, sugar, baking powder, and salt. Add in the butter and oil, and mix until the mixture is crumbly. Beat in the eggs, one at a time, until the mixture is smooth. Add in the orange juice, lemon juice, orange zest, lemon zest, and poppy seeds, and mix until well combined.
Pour the batter into the prepared cake pan and bake for 35-40 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center of the cake comes out clean. Let the cake cool in the pan for 10 minutes, then remove it from the pan and let it cool completely on a wire rack.
While the cake is cooling, make the glaze. In a small mixing bowl, whisk together the powdered sugar, orange juice, lemon juice, orange zest, and lemon zest until smooth. Drizzle the glaze over the cooled cake, and serve.
This Citrus Poppy Seed Celebration is a perfect dessert for any celebration. The cake is moist and fluffy, with a delightful crunch from the poppy seeds. The tangy citrus flavors are perfectly balanced with the sweetness of the glaze. This dish is sure to impress your guests and leave them wanting more.
