In large bowl, combine cake mix, pudding mix, and poppy seed. Add orange juice, applesauce, and eggs. Blend on low speed to moisten; beat on medium speed for 2 minutes until well mixed. Pour batter into well greased 12 cup Bundt pan. Bake at 350 degrees F for 40-45 minutes. Cool in pan 10 minutes. Remove and cool on wire rack. Drizzle icing over top or dust with powdered sugar.
Lemon Icing:
Mix 1 cup powdered sugar and 2-3 tablespoons lemon juice until smooth. Either of the two above recipes may be frosted with this icing. Very delicious!
I am excited to try this recipe. I have a similar recipe I love but it is loaded with so much fat (oil, sour cream, etc.) and I couldn't get it to turn out right by using my regular tricks like substituing applesauce for oil. Thanks!
