ORANGE GINGER POPPY SEED CAKE (MARTHA STEWART)
A lovely cake from Martha Stewart Weddings Winter/Spring 1995. Multiplies well for larger pans. Number of servings is a complete guess -- depending on how the cake is cut! "To estimate how many batches of batter you will need for the pans you choose, measure the volume of the pan by pouring water in to about two-thirds of the way up (or as high as you would fill the pan with batter) and multiply the recipe accordingly, using batter [yield] provided."

ORANGE AND POPPY SEED STOLLEN
This recipe looks more daunting than it actually is. You basically make a bread dough with a bit of butter and egg in it, knead it for a while, the leave it alone to do its thing.

Steps:
- Make filling:
- Put the sultanas into a mixing bowl. Chop the candied citrus peel into small dice and add to the sultanas. Finely grate the zest from the orange and add to the bowl. Squeeze in the juice of the orange, pour in the rum or brandy and vanilla, then toss together and leave for an hour.
- Make dough:
- Melt the butter in a small pan, then leave to cool down. Put the flour into a large mixing bowl. No need to sieve it. If using fresh yeast, warm the milk to body temperature (it should feel comfortable rather than cold or scalding when you insert your finger), then crumble in the yeast and stir to dissolve. Add the sugar and salt to the flour and mix well. Beat the egg. Stir in the egg and the warm milk and butter. (If you are using dried yeast, add the yeast straight to the flour, then stir in the other ingredients followed by the warm milk, egg and butter.)
- Mix thoroughly-the dough should be soft, shiny and rather sticky. In all honesty it may be very sticky. Turn out on to a generously floured board and knead for a good eight minutes. As you knead, the dough will become less and less sticky and more like a bread dough-though it will be heavier because of the butter and egg. When the dough is soft, elastic and no longer sticking to the board, scoop it up and put it into a floured bowl. Set aside, covered with a clean tea towel, somewhere warm and draught-free for a good hour or until it is well risen. (It won't be quite twice the size of the original dough but well on the way.) Alternatively, mix and knead using a food mixer fitted with a dough hook until the dough comes cleanly away from the sides of the bowl.
- Assemble:
- Break the cardamom pods open and remove their seeds. Crush the seeds to a coarse powder using a pestle and mortar or a spice mill, then mix in a small bowl with the poppy seeds, cinnamon and almonds. Dust the work surface in the flour and tip your risen dough onto it. Knead the spice and seed mixture and the soaked fruits, leaving behind most of the liquid, into the dough.
- Roll into a long loaf about 22cmx16cm and flatten it slightly: Roll the marzipan into a cylinder nearly the length of the dough, then place it in the centre. Brush the edges with a little beaten egg and press together. Turn the dough over and place it on a lined baking sheet, cover with a towel and return it to a warm place to prove for a further hour and a half.
- Heat the oven to 350°F/180°C/Gas 4. Place the loaf in the hot oven and bake for about thirty-five to forty minutes, until pale gold. Melt the butter for the glaze and brush over the loaf. Cool on a wire rack, then dust generously with icing sugar.
- To Keep
- When the loaf is thoroughly cool, wrap loosely in waxed paper or clingfilm and keep in a cookie tin.
Tips:
- For a sweeter glaze, add more powdered sugar to the glaze mixture.
- To make the spirals more colorful, add some orange zest or chopped nuts to the dough before rolling it up.
- If you don't have a pastry brush, you can use a spoon to spread the glaze on the spirals.
- Serve the spirals warm or at room temperature.
Conclusion:
Orange poppy seed spirals are a delicious and easy-to-make treat that is perfect for any occasion. With their bright orange color and sweet poppy seed filling, these spirals are sure to be a hit with everyone who tries them.
