   1       c            Butter -- softened
   1       c            Buttermilk
   4                    Eggs
     1/2   ts           Baking soda
     1/2   ts           Baking powder
     1/2   ts           Salt
   4       ts           Fresh lemon rind -- grated
     1/2   ts           Vanilla extract
                        Glaze:

   2       tb           Lemon juice -- up to 3 tb

  Preheat oven to 325°F. Grease and flour a 10" tube pan or 12 cup
  Bundt pan. In a large mixing bowl, combine flour, sugar, poppy
  seeds, butter, buttermilk, eggs, baking soda, baking powder, salt,
  lemon rind, and vanilla. Beat on low speed of electric mixer until
  ingredients are moistened. Then, beat on medium-high speed for 2 to
  3 minutes, or until ingredients are well combined and mixture
  lightens and is smooth. Pour batter into prepared pan and bake
  45-50 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted in center comes out
  clean. Cool 10 minutes in pan, then invert onto rack to cool
  30 minutes. Meanwhile, make glaze by mixing lemon juice and
  confectioners' sugar in a small bowl. Drizzle over cooled cake and
  serve.
