Tips:

  • Use fresh poppy seeds. Fresh poppy seeds have a more intense flavor and will give your cake a better texture. If you can't find fresh poppy seeds, you can use dried poppy seeds, but be sure to soak them in hot water for at least 30 minutes before using.
  • Cream the butter and sugar together until light and fluffy. This will help to incorporate air into the batter, making the cake lighter and more tender.
  • Add the eggs one at a time, beating well after each addition. This will help to prevent the batter from curdling.
  • Stir in the dry ingredients gradually. Overmixing the batter can make the cake tough.
  • Pour the batter into a greased and floured bundt pan. A bundt pan will help to give the cake a beautiful shape and allow for even cooking.
  • Bake the cake at 350 degrees Fahrenheit for 50-60 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.
  • Let the cake cool in the pan for 10 minutes before inverting it onto a wire rack to cool completely.
  • Dust the cake with powdered sugar before serving.
