Looking for poppy seed cake recipe
My Mom made an awesome poppy seed cake -
If I remember correctly, it was three layers - it had a custard filling between the layers and a white fluffy sort of frosting.
She did not make it very often because it had more steps to it than her usual baking - but it was wonderful!

No recipe here, but you have my attention, as I have always loved poppy-seed-anything!
Especially Lemon Poppyseed Loaf and Muffins.
So, I too, hope that someone comes back with the recipe for you (and me!)!

I was looking for cake recipes this am and came across two, nice poppy seed cake ideas. Neither are classic cakes. One is an almond poppy seed tea cake recipe that looked good: https://sallysbakingaddiction.com/al...eed-tea-cakes/ And another was for lemon poppy seed doughnuts:https://sallysbakingaddiction.com/gl...y-seed-donuts/ . Both are on Sally's Baking Addiction site. She might have some other poppy seed recipes on there, so have a look.

I subscribe to "Life Love & Sugar". Recently this recipe arrived in my mailbox. https://www.lifeloveandsugar.com/recipes/ It is for a Lemon PoppySeed Cake. I have not made this one but will.
