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!

LEMON POPPY SEED CAKE

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.

POPPY SEED TEA CAKE



Poppy Seed Tea Cake image

Poppy seeds belong to the small-but-mighty clan of ingredients: Their flavor is nutty, their aroma earthy, and their color, a gorgeous blue-black, dramatic. Even though they're minuscule, they crack pleasantly under a light bite. Sprinkle poppy seeds over something sweet or savory and you add interest. Give the seeds a star turn and you add surprise. Although this simple loaf cake includes vanilla extract and lemon juice, it's the flavor that you get from an abundance of poppy seeds that brings everyone back for more. The cake can be served plain, but it's pretty spread with white icing and speckled with seeds. Remember that because poppy seeds are oily, they can go rancid - store them in the freezer and taste a few before using them.

Categories     cakes

Time 1h30m

Yield 10 servings

Number Of Ingredients 13

5 1/2 tablespoons/78 grams unsalted butter, melted and cooled, plus softened butter for the pan
1 1/2 cups/192 grams all-purpose flour, plus more for the pan
1 teaspoon baking powder
1/4 teaspoon fine sea salt
1 1/4 cups/250 grams granulated sugar
Finely grated zest of 1 lemon or 1 tangerine, plus 2 tablespoons juice
4 large eggs, at room temperature
1 1/2 teaspoons pure vanilla extract
1/2 cup/120 milliliters heavy cream, at room temperature
1/3 cup/47 grams poppy seeds
1 cup/120 grams confectioners' sugar
1 to 2 tablespoons lemon juice
1/2 teaspoon poppy seeds, for sprinkling

Steps:

  • Make the cake: Center a rack in the oven and heat oven to 350 degrees. Butter and flour an 8 1/2-inch loaf pan. Place the pan on 2 stacked baking sheets or an insulated baking sheet.
  • Whisk together the flour, baking powder and salt in a small bowl. Put the sugar in a large bowl, add the lemon or tangerine zest, and rub together with your fingers until the sugar is moist and aromatic. Add the eggs, one by one, whisking each vigorously before adding the next. Whisk in the juice and vanilla, and then whisk in the heavy cream until smooth.
  • Add the flour mixture in 3 additions, using the whisk to gently stir the dry ingredients into the batter. When the flour is incorporated, add the butter in 2 additions, again stirring gently with the whisk. You should have a thick, smooth, shiny batter. Switch to a flexible spatula and stir in the poppy seeds. Scrape the batter into the pan.
  • Bake until the cake has risen and cracked along the center and, most important, a tester inserted deep into the cake comes out clean, 60 to 70 minutes. Take a look at it after about 45 minutes and tent it loosely with foil if it's getting too dark too fast.
  • Transfer the pan to a rack, cool for 5 minutes, and then run a table knife between the cake and the sides of the pan. Unmold the cake, then turn it right side up onto the rack. Cool to room temperature.
  • Make the glaze, if you like: Stir together the confectioners' sugar and 1 tablespoon lemon juice until smooth. If needed, add more juice, a drop at a time, until you have an icing that falls slowly from the tip of a spoon. Spread it over the cooled cake to coat evenly, sprinkle with poppy seeds and let stand until set. Wrapped well, the cake will keep at room temperature for about 4 days; unglazed, it can be frozen for up to 1 month.

Categories     World Cuisine Recipes     European     Eastern European     Polish

Time P1DT5h25m

Yield 15

Number Of Ingredients 19

3 ½ cups poppy seeds
boiling water to cover
5 eggs, divided
9 tablespoons margarine
1 cup white sugar
1 ½ cups all-purpose flour
¾ cup margarine
⅓ cup white sugar
1 large egg
1 teaspoon baking powder
1 teaspoon almond extract
2 apple - peeled, cored, and grated
3 tablespoons honey
3 tablespoons dry bread crumbs
½ cup raisins
½ cup chopped walnuts
1 teaspoon almond extract
2 cups confectioners' sugar
⅓ cup boiling water

Steps:

  • Place poppy seeds in a small pot, cover with boiling water and set aside for 24 hours.
  • Line a colander with a cheesecloth and spoon in the poppy seeds. Allow to drain for several hours. Once drained, transfer to a food processor and process until fine.
  • Combine 1 1/2 cups flour, 3/4 cup margarine, 1/3 cup sugar, 1 egg, and baking powder in a large bowl and knead into a smooth dough.
  • Preheat oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C). Grease a deep quarter sheet pan (9x13-inches) and line with parchment paper.
  • Roll out dough on a slightly floured surface and place in the prepared sheet pan.
  • Combine egg yolks, 9 tablespoons margarine, and 1 cup sugar in a large bowl; beat with an electric mixer until light and fluffy. Beat in drained poppy seeds gradually. Add apples, honey, breadcrumbs, walnuts, and raisins and mix well.
  • Beat egg whites in a glass, metal, or ceramic bowl until stiff peaks form. Lift your beater or whisk straight up: the egg whites will form sharp peaks. Fold egg whites into poppy seed mixture; spread over base in sheet pan.
  • Bake in the preheated oven for 1 hour until cake is set; transfer to a wire rack to cool.
  • Mix enough boiling water with confectioner's sugar to form a smooth icing. Spread generously over cooled cake.

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 soak them in hot water for at least 30 minutes before using.
  • Cream the butter and sugar together until light and fluffy: This will help to incorporate air into the batter, which will make your cake lighter and more tender.
  • Add the eggs one at a time, beating well after each addition: This will help to prevent the batter from curdling.
  • Be careful not to overmix the batter: Overmixing can make the cake tough.
  • Bake the cake in a preheated oven: This will help to ensure that the cake bakes evenly.
  • Let the cake cool completely before frosting it: This will help to prevent the frosting from melting.

Conclusion:

This poppy seed cake is a delicious and easy-to-make treat that is perfect for any occasion. The cake is moist and flavorful, with a delicate poppy seed flavor. The frosting is light and fluffy, and it complements the cake perfectly. This cake is sure to be a hit with everyone who tries it.
