Poppy Seed Cake

Because I’m a big fan of poppy seeds, I decided to make an proven recipe with this ingredient. It’s an excellent poppy seed cake, one of those simple yet delicious desserts. All the ingredients needed to make it are always easily found in every household.

This is a classic cake that is prepared in many European countries, and some say that it originated in Hungary. It has a very tasty biscuit with poppy seeds. This time I used ground poppy seeds, which will give the biscuit a finer structure. But you can make the same recipe with unground poppy seeds, if you prefer. Then this excellent cake will be a little crispier, and the color and texture of the biscuit itself will be a little different.

Poppy Seed Cake – perfection with chocolate and fine jam

In addition to the biscuit, there is also a fine chocolate glaze. It is impossible to imagine this dessert without it, because it really fits perfectly. I also used apricot jam. It connects the glaze nicely with the cake, but also gives an excellent and distinctive taste. Chocolate and jam always go well together, and this poppy seed cake is proof because it’s just perfect.

Of course, you like poppy seeds or not, but if you belong to this first group, you definitely have to try this recipe. I have it stored in my recipe book so that it is always at hand. There are certainly good reasons for that, and I hope you will agree with me that this cake is really special. You can be sure that you will enjoy it, because it is really excellent and has been tested many times.
