Retro poppy seed cake

My dear hedonists, the combination of chocolate and poppy topped cake with apricot jam is a "must-have" for full enjoyment. Lately it has become fashionable to eat chia seeds as part of a healthier diet, and poppies have somewhat lost in popularity. Both ingredients are rich in Omega 3 and Omega 6 fatty acids and are a great source of protein and fibre. I personally eat chia for breakfast dipped in almond milk as a pudding, and I like my poppies in classic desserts. I have tried many recipes but none fits me so perfectly as this one. It is prepared without any flour, it is easy to make, it is very juicy and not too sweet. Definitely deserves to be entered into the "favourites" section on the blog …

Retro poppy seed cake

Ingredients:

  • 6 eggs
  • 130g sugar
  • 180gr. butter
  • 280g. ground poppy
  • 2 rows of grated baking (bitter) chocolate
  • 1 tablespoon rum
Glaze
  • 100g chocolate
  • 1 coffee spoon powdered sugar
  • 3 tablespoons oil
  • Apricot jam for coating

Preparation:

First, beat the egg yolks with the sugar as finely as for a cake. Add the softened butter, poppy seeds, grated chocolate (I melted it in a microwave) and rum. Beat the egg whites well and mix with the filling. Note for young housewives that the egg whites are gradually added and a manual spatula is used to mix the mass and keep it fluffy. Bake at 180 degrees in a pre-greased mould with a cake ring number 26. Coat the baked cake with apricot jam and return to a switched-off oven to dry for another 3 minutes. Pour the chocolate icing over the cake and leave to cool nicely.
