Ingredients:

  • 1 cup ground poppy seed
  • 1 cup milk
  • 1 cup butter
  • 2 cups sugar
  • 3 eggs, separated
  • 2 cups flour
  • 1/2 tsp. salt
  • 2 1/2 tsp. double-action baking powder
  • 2 tsp. vanilla extract
  • powdered sugar

Directions:
Put poppy seed in milk, bring to a boil, and set it aside for 1 hour.Preheat oven to 350 degrees. Cream butter and sugar together. Beat in egg yolks. Add poppy seed-milk mixture. Sift flour, salt, and baking powder; stir into dough. Beat whites of eggs until stiff, and fold into dough with vanilla. Grease a large loaf pan with butter or margarine. Sprinkle flour over sides, fill pan, and bake approximately 1 hour. If it springs back when touched with a finger and if a toothpick inserted in the middle comes out clean, the cake is ready. Invert it over a rack to cool. Just before serving, sprinkle powdered sugar on top.Note: To make cupcakes from this dough, bake in buttered and floured muffin tins for about 25 minutes.

Servings: 1 loaf cake


This cake is like a coffee cake, very good for breakfast or with a fruit dessert or an ice. Ukrainians take pride in grinding their own poppy seeds fresh for each occasion, but ground poppy seed also gives a very good flavor
