Poppy Seed Crazy Cake
This cake is called "crazy" for a reason -- the ingredients are mixed in the baking tin! Saves on the washing up. After baking, leave it in the tin, cover and chill overnight to allow the flavours to develop. This also makes the cake moister. It will need to be sliced in the tin. The picture shows the cake with a passion fruit glaze.
