Grandma's lemon-poppyseed cake with citrus glaze

I was really excited recently when, while organizing some old letters and photographs, I found one of my Grandma's recipes written in her own hand-writing. This meant a lot to me because my Grandma passed away about nine years ago and making one of her recipes is a wonderful way to reconnect, remember, and honor her. Grandma loved to entertain family and friends. I remember going to her home for breakfast and being welcomed with a dining table full of food. Fresh fruit salad, cinnamon rolls, muffins, potatoes, eggs, bacon and sausage, and probably a couple other things as well. There was always tons of food at Grandma's house. Though the lemon-poppyseed cake was a pretty straightforward recipe, it was really delicious and I think Grandma would have been pleased with it. If I close my eyes, I can once again almost feel the happiness of sharing food around Grandma's table...
