Cake Preparation
Prepare the batter
Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C). In a large bowl, whisk together the flour, sugar, baking powder, and salt. In another bowl, mix the eggs, olive oil, limoncello, lemon zest, and vanilla extract until combined. Gradually add the wet ingredients to the dry ingredients, mixing until just combined. Fold in the poppy seeds.
Bake the cake
Pour the batter into a greased 9-inch round cake pan. Bake for 35-40 minutes or until a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean. Let it cool in the pan for 10 minutes, then transfer to a wire rack to cool completely.
