Ingredients
- 1 ½ oz poppy seeds (45 g)
- 5,5 oz plain flour (155 g)
- 1 tsp baking powder
- 5,5 oz unsalted butter (155 g)
- 6 oz caster sugar (170 g)
- 2 tbsp orange blossom water or orange zest
- 3 large eggs
- salt
Instructions
-
Transfer the butter to a small saucepan and add the poppy seeds. Place the pan over medium-low heat and let the butter melt gently. Once melted, take it off the heat and let it cool until lukewarm.
-
In the meantime pour the plain flour, caster sugar, baking powder and a little pinch of salt in a large mixing bowl. Add the 3 eggs.
-
Stir the ingredients well into a smooth batter. Add the orange blossom water (this is optional). Pour in the lukewarm melted butter and poppy seed mixture.
-
Whisk the ingredients well until you get a smooth cake batter and pour it in a buttered cake tin.
-
Bake the cake in a preheated oven at 356°F (180°C) for 40 minutes. Remove the cake from the hot oven and let it cool a little in its tin. Cut the cake up into squares, sprinkle with some icing sugar if you like and serve lukewarm.
