Here is a recipe similar to the poppy seed cake my family has made:
(found online, but it looks like my grandmother's recipe)
Poppy seed cake was my father's favorite cake.

Note. Poppy seeds are REALLY HIGH in oxalates.
Also, if you are subject to random drug tests at work, eating too much could result in a positive test.
Ukranian Poppy Seed Cake
3/4 cup poppy seeds
1 cup milk
1/2 lb butter
1 1/3 c sugar
3 eggs, beaten
2 c unbleached flour
1 tablespoon baking powder
1/2 teaspoon salt
1/2 teaspoon vanilla
1 tsp lemon zest
DIRECTIONS
Heat poppy seeds and milk in a small saucepan over medium heat. Remove from heat just before milk begins to boil. Let stand until milk reaches room temperature.
Preheat oven to 350 degrees
Cream together the butter and sugar. Add eggs one at a time, beating well after each addition.
Sift together the dry ingredients (flour, baking powder and salt)
In thirds, alternately beat in the butter and sugar, the dry ingredients, and milk/poppy seeds.
Add the vanilla and lemon zest at the end.
Lightly butter 2 loaf pans and split batter between pans. Bake 40-50 minutes until a toothpick or knife inserted comes out clean.
