According to realbakingwithrose.com, preparing the 1990 winning cake begins by setting an oven rack in the lower third of the appliance and preheating the oven to 350°F or 175°C at least twenty minutes before baking. The batter process requires a stand mixer fitted with a flat beater attachment. The source outlines the initial mixing steps:
Baking Instructions and Preparation Steps

- Mix butter, sugar, and lemon zest on medium speed for 2 minutes, then scrape down the bowl sides.
- Add the egg and continue beating for an additional 2 minutes.
- Whisk together flour, baking soda, salt, and poppyseeds in a separate medium bowl.
- Incorporate the dry mixture into the batter in two separate additions, alternating with sour cream.
Once the batter is thoroughly combined, transfer it into the prepared pan. Spread the mixture evenly across the bottom and push it approximately one inch up the sides, ensuring the batter on the edges measures a quarter-inch thick, as noted by realbakingwithrose.com.
