Time 5h35m

Yield 12

Number Of Ingredients 12

¼ cup poppy seeds
1 cup buttermilk
4 egg whites
1 cup butter
1 ¼ cups white sugar
4 egg yolks
2 ½ cups all-purpose flour
1 teaspoon baking soda
2 tablespoons baking powder
2 teaspoons vanilla extract
¾ cup miniature dark chocolate chips
cinnamon sugar to taste

Steps:

  • Preheat oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C). Lightly grease and flour a Bundt or angel food cake pan.
  • Pour the poppy seeds into the buttermilk in a small bowl. Set aside to soak for 15 minutes. Meanwhile, whip the egg whites to medium peaks; set aside.
  • Cream together the butter and sugar in a large bowl until fluffy. Add egg yolks one at a time, blending well between additions. Sift the flour, baking soda, and baking powder into the egg mixture; fold gently to mix. Stir in the poppy seeds, milk, and vanilla extract. Gently fold in the beaten egg whites until just incorporated.
  • Pour half of the batter into the prepared pan. Sprinkle in the chocolate chips and cinnamon sugar. Pour the remaining batter over top, and sprinkle with additional cinnamon sugar. With a knife, lightly swirl in the chocolate chips and cinnamon sugar so they are dispersed throughout the cake.
  • Bake in preheated oven until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean, about 1 hour. Allow cake to cool completely before removing from the pan.

This cake was a bit too sweet for my taste, but I think it would be perfect for someone who likes their desserts on the sweeter side.

This cake is a great make-ahead dessert. I made it the day before a party and it was even better the next day.

I'm not a big fan of chocolate and poppy seed together, so I wasn't sure if I would like this cake. But I was pleasantly surprised! The cake was moist and flavorful, and the poppy seeds added a nice crunch.

This cake was a disaster! It was dry, crumbly, and had a weird taste. I followed the recipe exactly, so I'm not sure what went wrong.

The cake was easy to make and the flavor was good, but it didn't rise as much as I expected. I'm not sure what I did wrong.

This cake was a bit too dry for my taste, but the flavor was good. I think I'll try adding some extra moisture next time, like sour cream or buttermilk.
