Steps:
- Soak poopy seeds in the milk and vanilla overnight.
- Cream butter until soft. Add the sugar gradually and cream well.
- Sift the flour, baking powder and salt together.
- Blend the flour and poppy-seed mixtures alternately into the creamed butter mix. Blend well.
- Whip the egg whites until stiff and fold into mixture.
- Pour the batter into 2 buttered and lightly floured 8" layer cake tines, and bake 30 minutes in a preheated 350º oven.
- Let cool a little in the pans before turning out onto racks.
- If you wish you can cut each layer in half and spread filling between four layers. Whichever you choose to do, here's a suggestion for a mouth-watering between-the-layers spread:
- Beat the egg yolks until frothy. Mix sugar, cornstarch, milk and salt with the beaten yolks and cook in the top of a double boiler over hot water about 5 minutes.
- Stir constantly to keep the mixture from scorching.
- Grind nuts and add to cooked mixture with vanilla.
- Mix well, and spread between layers.
- Top the cake as follows:
- Stir the sugar with the rum until smooth. Add the water and beat well.
- Ice the sides and top of the cake. Sprinkle the ground nuts over the top.
