This week's Sweet Melissa Sundays comes to us courtesy of Melissa. Check out her blog, Lulu the Baker, for the recipe, and if you're anything like me, you'll be completely smitten with the green and white polka dots and fabulous kitchen creations.
I love tea cakes, and this orange poppy seed version is fabulous! I actually ended up using Minneola tangerines because they were on sale. I'm not sure if this changed the outcome or not, but I do know that this is delicious. I made four minis rather than one large loaf. Two are in the freezer, and Dudley ate the other two yesterday. He LOVED this bread/cake. I'd just finished taking the pictures when he got here yesterday morning and he proceeded to demolish the loaf and the orange slices, too (oh, to be really tall and eat whatever I want!). Yesterday afternoon he was scrounging around for something to eat while I was in the middle of a bake-a-thon. As I was trying to shoo him out of the kitchen he spotted the second mini loaf and, "OH, may I please have some of that delicious bread?" I happily sent him on his way, and out of the kitchen, with the second loaf of cake. Not to worry, I had a bite, and I can also say that it's very delicious! Thanks, Melissa, for such a wonderful pick this week. I know that this is a repeat recipe for me.

I loved this recipe too. Your cake looks great.
Your cake looks so moist and delicious! I had another baking project this weekend, and wasn't able to fit this one in, but I hope to make it soon.
Yeah you got it up! Im so happy you enjoyed it as much as I did. I thought the orange and poppy seed mixed well together. It's a bread I can see myself making again and again!

I saw beautiful tangerines at the store when I was shopping and wondered if they would work! Thanks for your sweet shout-out, and thanks for baking with me this week!
Oh man Jessica - your mini loaves look beautiful! They look super moist. My favorite part about this cake was the delicious scent throughout my house as it baked :)
