1. Preheat oven to 350F. Lightly coat a 9-inch bundt pan with canola oil spray. Dust with all-purpose flour.

3. In a medium bowl, combine flour, baking powder, baking soda and salt. Stir in poppy seeds.

4. Add half of flour mixture to creamed mixture and mix on low speed for 30 seconds. Add half of buttermilk and mix until just combined. Add remaining half of flour mixture and mix for 30 seconds. Add remaining buttermilk and 1% milk and mix briefly until smooth.

6. In a small bowl, combine powdered sugar and as much lemon juice as needed to make an icing. Spread evenly over the entire cake. Slice into 20 servings.
