Quick poppyseed cake

It’s one of my grandma’s recipes – very handy when you have excess of egg whites and no plans for meringue. It’s quick, simple and so far well-liked, not to mention the slightly unusual look once cut.

Ingredients:

  • 1 cup of egg-whites
  • 1 cup of sugar
  • 1 cup of black or blue poppyseed
  • 1 cup of flour
  • 2 teaspoons of baking powder
  • 250 gams (1 cube) of melted margarine

Method:

Whip egg whites with sugar until they form a stiff foam. Gently fold in the flour, stirring from the bottom. Similarly to sponge cake. Then add flour and baking powder mixed together, in the same way.

Finally, add the melted and cooled margarine – mix gently until fully combined. Pour into a cake tin gresed with butter and covered in breadcrumbs. Bake in 180C for just under an hour, or until browned. Leave in a warm oven, slightly ajar, until cooled.
