Poppyseed cake that is moist & delicious!
Today is my dad’s birthday and he loves Poppyseed cake. I’ve never made one before so I thought this would be the perfect time and a nice surprise for when we visit. This recipe is simple to make and it bakes up beautifully! I hope he enjoys…Happy Birthday Dad 🙂
Poppyseed cake, a classic European dessert, offers a unique and delightful flavor profile that combines the sweetness of cake with the subtle crunch and nutty taste of poppy seeds. Often enjoyed with a dusting of powdered sugar or a drizzle of glaze, this cake is a perfect treat for any occasion.
Ingredients are as follows:
recipe adapted from Baker
3 C flour
1/4 tsp. salt
1 1/2 tsp. baking soda
1 3/4 C sugar
4 eggs
1 1/3 C oil
1 (12 oz.) can evaporated milk
1 tsp. vanilla
Directions:
Preheat oven to 350 degrees; grease a 10 inch tube/bundt pan.
Mix together the flour, salt, baking soda and sugar; set aside.
In another bowl, beat eggs until light and fluffy.
Stir in the oil, evaporated milk and vanilla.
Slowly stir the wet ingredients into the dry until they’re combined.
Mix in the jar of poppyseed filling.
Pour into prepared pan.
Bake for 50-60 minutes; until golden brown.
Cool in pan for 10 minutes; remove and allow to continue cooling.
Slice, serve and enjoy!
Thanks for joining Southern Sundays with this wonderful recipe! It looks just perfect. I'll be announcing the featured recipes next week. Hope to see you at the next party with another great item!
Oh Yum! I'm sure your Pap will adore you for making his favorite. I make an awesome poppyseed bread (almond extract…orange juice glaze – MMM!) but have never made anything with this filling either. It's gotta be good. I'll buy a can of the filling when I see it again and give this a whirl. Happy Birthday Wishes to your Dad!!
Wow, that looks so good!!!
I've never heard of poppyseed filling. Is it like a paste? I can buy poppyseeds by the bucketload here but sadly no filling. 🙁
This cake looks wonderful!
Hi Maureen 🙂 It's kind of like a paste, I put a picture up top so you can see what it looks like.
Maureen..you can also google poppy seed filling recipe and just make the filling on your own. It's so easy.
