Orange Ginger Poppy Seed Cake (Martha Stewart) image

A lovely cake from Martha Stewart Weddings Winter/Spring 1995. Multiplies well for larger pans. Number of servings is a complete guess -- depending on how the cake is cut! "To estimate how many batches of batter you will need for the pans you choose, measure the volume of the pan by pouring water in to about two-thirds of the way up (or as high as you would fill the pan with batter) and multiply the recipe accordingly, using batter [yield] provided."
