POPPY SEED CAKE I



Poppy Seed Cake I image

This cake is moist and delicious; especially so if you love the flavoring of almond extract. The cake is lovely and unusual to look at: white with black dots from the poppy seeds; filled and topped with yellow almond flavored custard. It's easy to take to a picnic, potluck or gourmet dinner. Just take the two cake layers and the bowl of custard. Assemble at your destination. Always a hit.

Categories     dessert

Time 3h45m

Yield 10 to 12 servings

Number Of Ingredients 16

1 cup buttermilk, shaken
1/3 cup poppy seeds (1.75 ounces)
Nonstick baking spray with flour, such as Baker's Joy
1/2 pound (2 sticks) unsalted butter, at room temperature
2 1/2 cups granulated sugar, divided
4 extra-large eggs, at room temperature
1 teaspoon pure vanilla extract
1/3 cup grated lemon zest, loosely packed (4 to 5 large lemons)
2 3/4 cups all-purpose flour
1/4 cup cornstarch
1 teaspoon kosher salt
1/2 teaspoon baking powder
1/2 teaspoon baking soda
3/4 cup freshly squeezed lemon juice, divided
1 cup sifted confectioners' sugar
1 1/2 tablespoons freshly squeezed lemon juice

Steps:

  • Pour the buttermilk into a 2-cup liquid measuring cup, stir in the poppy seeds, and set aside at room temperature for at least 2 hours.
  • Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F. Thoroughly spray the inside of a Bundt pan with the baking spray and set aside.
  • In the bowl of an electric mixer fitted with the paddle attachment, cream the butter and 2 cups of the granulated sugar on medium speed for about 5 minutes, until light yellow and fluffy. With the mixer on low, add the eggs, one at a time, the vanilla, and lemon zest, scraping down the bowl with a rubber spatula.
  • Sift the flour, cornstarch, salt, baking powder, and baking soda into a medium bowl. Add 1/4 cup of the lemon juice to the buttermilk mixture. With the mixer on low speed, alternately add the flour mixture and buttermilk mixture in thirds, beginning and ending with the flour. Scrape the bowl with a rubber spatula to be sure the batter is well mixed. Spoon the batter into the prepared pan, smooth the top, and bake for 40 to 50 minutes, until a cake tester comes out clean.
  • Meanwhile, place the remaining 1/2 cup of granulated sugar and the remaining 1/2 cup of lemon juice in a small saucepan and cook over high heat until the sugar dissolves. Set aside. When the cake is done, allow it to cool in the pan for 10 minutes, then turn it out onto a baking rack set over a large plate. Spoon the warm lemon syrup slowly over the cake, allowing it to be absorbed into the cake. Set aside for at least 30 minutes to cool.
  • For the glaze, whisk the confectioners' sugar and lemon juice together in a small bowl, adding a little more sugar or lemon juice to make a smooth, thick, but pourable glaze. Drizzle over the cake, allowing it to drip down the sides. Transfer to a flat cake plate and serve at room temperature.

SOLO POPPY SEED CAKE



Solo Poppy Seed Cake image

This was a Slovak traditional cake that was passed down in my family which I make for special occasions and now its my birthday cake. Solo still prints the recipe on the back of its label of Poppy Seed filling. I did not find the recipe in here and wanted to share this truly delectable for all to enjoy since I hate seeing lemon with it-just ruins it. I hear complaints that people think poppy seed is dry and stay away from it. You haven't eaten it properly then! I love poppy seed! It is so addicting! Very moist and good right out of the oven. Even better next day when flavors have mellowed. Its really good cold too. Its so good, it doesn't need frosting!! I will post my lighter version that I use now just for me since I am dieting and for my hypoglycemia. Enjoy!

Time 1h45m

Yield 1 bundt, 14-16 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 10

1 cup butter (softened-I used butter better for the cake) or 1 cup margarine (softened-I used butter better for the cake)
1 1/2 cups sugar
12 1/2 ounces solo ground poppy seed filling (1 can)
4 egg yolks
4 egg whites
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
1 cup sour cream (diary)
2 1/2 cups all-purpose flour
1 teaspoon baking soda
1 teaspoon salt

Steps:

  • Preheat oven to 350°F
  • Grease and flour 12 cup Bundt pan or 10 inch tube pan and set aside.
  • Beat butter and sugar in a large bowl with electric mixer until light and fluffy.
  • Add poppy seed filling and beat until blended.
  • Beat in egg yolks one at a time, beating well after each addition.
  • Add vanilla and sour cream and beat just until blended.
  • In a small bowl, blend flour, baking soda and salt.
  • Add flour mixture to poppy seed mixture gradually beating well after each addition.
  • In a separate bowl, beat whites with electric mixer untill stiff peaks form.
  • Fold whites into batter and spread in prepared pans.
  • Bake for 60 minutes to one hour 15 minutes or until cake tester inserted in center comes out clean.
  • Cool in pan on wire rack for 10 minutes.
  • Remove from pan and cool completely on rack. Dust with confectioners' sugar just before serving if desired.

Tips:

  • Use fresh poppy seeds: Fresh poppy seeds have a more intense flavor and will give your cake a better texture. If you don't have fresh poppy seeds, you can use dried poppy seeds, but be sure to toast them in a pan before using them.
  • Grind the poppy seeds: Grinding the poppy seeds will help to release their flavor and make them easier to mix into the batter. You can grind the poppy seeds in a food processor, blender, or mortar and pestle.
  • Use a bundt pan: A bundt pan is the best pan to use for baking a poppy seed cake because it allows the cake to rise evenly and gives it a beautiful shape.
  • Don't overmix the batter: Overmixing the batter will make the cake tough. Mix the batter just until the ingredients are combined.
  • Bake the cake at a moderate temperature: Baking the cake at a moderate temperature will help to prevent it from drying out. The ideal temperature for baking a poppy seed cake is 350 degrees Fahrenheit.
  • Let the cake cool completely before frosting it: Letting the cake cool completely before frosting it will help to prevent the frosting from melting.

Conclusion:

Poppy seed cake is a delicious and versatile cake that can be enjoyed for breakfast, dessert, or a snack. It's easy to make and can be customized to your liking. Whether you prefer a classic poppy seed cake or something more creative, there's a recipe out there for you. So next time you're looking for a special treat, give poppy seed cake a try.
