Yield Makes 2 cakes

Number Of Ingredients 7

1 pound (3 1/4 cups) all-purpose flour
1 tablespoon coarse salt
4 sticks softened unsalted butter, plus more for pans
2 cups sugar
1 teaspoon pure vanilla extract
9 large eggs, room-temperature
1 tablespoon poppy seeds

Steps:

  • Preheat oven to 325 degrees. Butter two 5-by-9-inch loaf pans. Combine flour and salt in a bowl.
  • Cream butter and sugar with a mixer on high speed until pale and fluffy, for 8 minutes. Scrape down sides of bowl. Reduce speed to medium, and add vanilla extract.
  • Lightly beat eggs, and add to mixer bowl in 4 additions, mixing thoroughly after each and scraping down sides. Reduce speed to low, and add flour mixture in 4 additions, mixing until just incorporated. Fold poppy seeds into finished batter. Divide batter between pans. Tap on counter to distribute; smooth tops.
  • Bake until a tester inserted into center of each cake comes out clean, about 65 minutes. Let cool in pans on a wire rack for 30 minutes. Remove from pans, and let cool completely on wire rack.

This cake was a disaster! It was dry, crumbly, and had no flavor. I followed the recipe exactly, so I'm not sure what went wrong.

This cake is a bit too dry for my taste, but the flavor is good. I think I'll try adding some extra butter or oil next time.

I'm not usually a fan of poppy seed cakes, but this one is really good. It's moist and flavorful, and the poppy seeds add a nice crunch.
