Cherry Poppy Seed Cake

Cherry Poppy Seed Cake

The highlight of this recipe is the poppy seeds, which pair excellently with various fruits like apple slices, apricots, plums, cherries, and berries.

This cake is incredibly aromatic, a "poppy delight" - fluffy, tender, and quick to prepare.

Note: The quantities listed are for a 28-30cm round tray. In the pictures, I've doubled the quantities and used a large rectangular tray.
