Steps:
- In a small bowl, mix together yeast and warm water; set aside.
- In the bowl of an electric mixer fitted with a paddle attachment, cream together butter and granulated sugar on medium speed, scraping down the sides of bowl with a spatula, as necessary. Add egg yolks, one at a time, mixing well after each addition and scraping down sides of bowl with a spatula as necessary.
- Add vinegar and vanilla; mix to combine. Slowly add sour cream, mixing until well combined. Add yeast mixture.
- In a large bowl, whisk together both flours and salt. Add to mixer and mix on low until well combined and dough begins to pull away from the sides of the bowl and just begins to form a ball.
- Turn dough out onto a lightly floured work surface. Knead dough until smooth, about 5 minutes. Lightly flour the bottom of a large glass bowl; place dough in bowl and cover with a clean damp kitchen towel. Cover bowl tightly with plastic wrap; let stand until doubled in size, 3 to 4 hours, or refrigerate overnight.
- Make the filling: Place all of the ingredients except egg and cream in a medium bowl and stir until well combined.
- Punch down dough. Transfer to a floured work surface. Let stand for 5 minutes. Roll out to an 18-inch square (about 1/8 inch thick). Spread filling over dough, reserving 1/2 cup and leaving a 1-inch border. Brush edges with egg wash. Tightly roll dough like a jelly roll. Pinch seam to seal, and fold in half to bring ends together to form a U. Twist 2 or 3 times to "braid." Butter a 10-by-5-inch loaf pan, and line with parchment, leaving 1-inch overhangs; butter parchment. Transfer dough to pan. Brush top with egg wash.
- Make the crumb topping: Combine confectioners' sugar, flour, and butter. Sprinkle topping and reserved 1/2 cup filling over cake.
- Preheat oven to 375 degrees. Drape plastic wrap over dough. Let stand in a warm place until doubled in volume, about 1 hour.
- Remove plastic wrap, and bake, rotating halfway through, until golden, about 55 minutes. Reduce oven temperature to 325 degrees. Bake until deeply golden, 20 to 30 minutes more (cover with foil if top gets too dark). Transfer pan to a wire rack. Let cake cool.

Yield Makes 2 nine-inch cakes

Steps:
- Combine the warm water, milk, 4 tablespoons butter, salt, sugar, cardamom, and eggs in the bowl of an electric mixer fitted with the paddle attachment. Sprinkle yeast over top; let stand until foamy, 10 to 15 minutes.
- With the mixer running, gradually add flour. Mix until well combined; dough will be sticky. Turn dough out onto a floured surface, and gently knead until dough forms a ball. Place in a large buttered bowl to rise, covered with plastic wrap, until doubled, about 1 1/2 hours.
- Preheat oven to 375 degrees. Butter two 9-inch tube pans; sprinkle bottom of each with 1/4 cup brown sugar. Punch down dough; turn onto lightly floured surface. With a rolling pin, roll into a rectangle that is about 14 by 17 inches and about 1/2 inch thick. Brush a third of the remaining butter over the middle third of the dough, and sprinkle with 1 cup of the filling. Fold the bottom third of dough over the filling and overlap the top third, forming an envelope. Rotate the dough 90 degrees. Roll the dough again into a rectangle roughly the same size, and repeat with butter and half of the remaining filling. Repeat one more time, three rollings in all, using remaining filling. Rotate dough 90 degrees, and let rest, covered with a damp cloth or plastic wrap, for 15 minutes. Roll dough one final time into a long rectangle, 11 by 17 inches and about 1 inch thick. With a sharp knife, cut a 1-inch slice from the end of the dough. Pick it up, twisting it gently into a spiral. Place the twist in the bottom of the pan, forming a circle. Repeat, using remaining dough, filling each tube pan with 2 layers of twisted dough. Cover each cake with plastic wrap, and let rise until doubled, about 45 minutes.
- Bake cakes until golden brown, 40 to 50 minutes. Let rest in pans 15 minutes before inverting. Flip cakes over so attractive side is up. Serve cakes warm or at room temperature. After cooling completely, cakes can be frozen, wrapped in two layers of plastic wrap, up to 1 month.
Tips:
- Use fresh poppy seeds for the best flavor. If your poppy seeds are not fresh, toast them in a pan over medium heat for 3-5 minutes, stirring constantly, until they are fragrant.
- Cream the butter and sugar together until light and fluffy. This will help to incorporate air into the batter, making the cake light and 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, just until combined. Overmixing can toughen the cake.
- Divide the batter in half. Spread half of the batter into a greased 9x13 inch baking pan. Sprinkle with the poppy seed filling.
- Top with the remaining batter. Bake the cake at 350 degrees Fahrenheit for 30-35 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.
- Let the cake cool completely before frosting. This will help to prevent the frosting from melting.
- If you don't have a piping bag, you can use a ziplock bag with the corner snipped off to pipe the frosting onto the cake.
Conclusion:
This yeasted coffee cake with poppy seed filling is a delicious and easy-to-make treat. It's perfect for breakfast, brunch, or dessert. The cake is light and fluffy, with a sweet and nutty poppy seed filling. The cream cheese frosting is the perfect finishing touch. This cake is sure to be a hit with everyone who tries it!
