ALMOND POPPY SEED KUCHEN
A German friend of mine gave me this recipe many years ago. Don't let the ingredients fool you. This is absolutely delicious! And best when it is warm. Pop it into the microwave for a minute or so. You won't be sorry. I use 2 8x 8 pans to make this, and I freeze one for later.

ALMOND POPPY SEED CAKE
I usually try to stay away from recipes with box-ingredients because I'm not likely to have them on hand, but this cake is worth it. The butter-cinnamon-sugar crust is so yummy. I suppose you could frost or glaze it but I never do because it just doesn't need it. Everyone loves it just as it is.
