Preparation procedure

  • Preheat the oven to a medium temperature and prepare a pan lined with baking paper.
  • Whisk the egg whites into stiff peaks with part of the sugar. In another bowl, mix the yolks, the remaining sugar, oil or butter, and the flour. Gently fold the egg whites into this mixture.
  • Spread the batter evenly into the pan and bake until the center of the sponge is cooked through (test with a skewer).
  • Prepare the poppy seed cream: in a saucepan, mix the ground poppy seeds with sugar and the liquid (milk/cream), simmer until the mixture thickens, and let cool.
  • Once the sponge has cooled, spread the poppy seed cream evenly over the cake.
  • Finally decorate the cake with powdered sugar or a light glaze. Refrigerate to allow the layers to meld.
