Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C). Grease and flour a 10-inch Bundt pan.

In a large bowl, stir together cake mix, pudding mix, and poppy seeds. Make a well in the center and pour in water, oil, eggs, and almond extract. Beat on low speed until blended. Scrape the bowl, then beat for 4 minutes on medium speed. Pour batter into the prepared pan.

Bake in the preheated oven until a toothpick inserted into the center of the cake comes out clean, about 50 minutes. Let cool in pan for 10 minutes, then turn out onto a wire rack and cool completely.
