I always had to bake this poppy cake for my family in GDR times, when there were not many things and baking ingredients. We still find the poppy seed cake very delicious today, but beware, there is a lot of hip gold in it.

  • 150 g of sugar
  • 300 g of ground poppy
  • 8 tablespoons milk
  • 8 tablespoons of flour

  1. Mix the ingredients to a dough, fold in the egg white of the 6 eggs, place on a baking sheet and bake for about 20 minutes over medium heat.
