  3. Cream the butter and gradually add 1 1/4 cups of the sugar.
  4. Beat in the zests and the poppy seeds.
  5. Add the egg yolks, one at a time, beating well after each addition.
  6. Continue beating for about 5 minutes, until the mixture if very light and creamy.
  7. In a large mixing bowl, beat the egg whites until soft peaks form. Add the remaining 1/4 cup sugar and beat until peaks are stiff, but not dry.
  8. Sift the flour and salt over the egg yolk mixture, one third at a time, folding in after each addition.
  9. Gently fold in about 1/4 of the egg whites into the batter, then fold in remaining whites, blending gently but thoroughly.
  10. Pour batter carefully into the prepared pan.
  11. Bake one hour, or until a toothpick comes out clean when tested in the center.
  12. Make syrup while cake bakes: Combine juices with sugar and heat until sugar is completely dissolved; cool slightly.

  14. Pour the citrus syrup all over the top to cover completely.
  15. Cool cake in the pan to allow syrup to be absorbed completely.
