Time 55m

Yield 1 cake

Number Of Ingredients 20

1/2 cup poppy seed
1 cup milk
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
3/4 cup soft butter
1 1/2 cups sugar
2 cups flour (sifted)
2 teaspoons baking powder
1/2 teaspoon salt
4 egg whites
4 egg yolks
3/4 cup sugar
2 tablespoons cornstarch
1 1/2 cups milk
1/4 teaspoon salt
1/2 cup hazelnuts
1 teaspoon vanilla
1 cup powdered sugar
3 tablespoons rum
1 tablespoon water
1/2 cup hazelnuts (ground)

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.
