My poppy seed cake is a wonderful cake, its both soft and delicious! (even to those who don’t favor poppy seeds).
To make the perfect poppy seed cake I add a little bit of coconut to the mix and always use fresh grind poppy (which you can also freeze for future use).
As I mentioned this recipe is so easy to make as it does not require any special equipment or skill, just Mix and pan.
