Butter baking with poppy seeds is known to everyone, but not many people know that with poppy seeds you can make a cake. It turns out an original, beautiful and very tasty dessert.
Poppy cake - basic principles of cooking
It is better to use biscuit cakes for poppy seeds, so that the cake turns out to be airy and light. For this, the yolks are separated from the proteins. The latter is whipped in a separate bowl until a dense foam. The yolks are combined with sugar and whipped separately until a lush mass of white is obtained. Gradually introduce the protein mass into the yolks, while gently mixing. The flour is combined with poppy seeds, mixed and introduced into the egg mixture. Cake is baked from the resulting test.
Chilled cake is cut in half or in several parts.
To smear the cakes, use sour cream, cream, custard, or any other cream. You can make a cake with two or three different creams at once.
In addition to poppy seeds, you can add dried fruits or nuts to the cake.
You can decorate the cake with icing, or with a gelatin layer.
