This is a super easy and amazingly delicious cake that we usually make in a bread loaf pan (although cupcakes will do).

This cake has been around for many, many years as most of the time the ingredients were always on hand. It is a good recipe as it can be served with or without frosting. There have been many variations over the years and I no longer have my mother's personal recipe but there are a couple of sites that I use a lot and there recipes sound like the "old timey" recipes to me. Check out everyone's suggestions and maybe try more than one.

Our old family recipe calls for 3 egg whites (room temp) and 1 1/2 cups light brown sugar. Combine in the bowl of your stand mixer using whip attachment and beat until you reach a light and fluffy spreading consistency, 5-7 min.

Wonderful compliment to the poppyseed cake!

Raw egg whites?

Yes, there should be no concern as long as you use pasteurized eggs. Many dessert and sauce recipes call for raw eggs.

I am looking for a poppyseed cake recipe with a cooked filling made with an egg, sugar and nuts. It is frosted with a 7 minute cooked frosting. I looked on a lot of cooking sites and can't find it. The cake itself can be made with a white cake mix with poppy seeds added. Thanks for your help

I too have been on a quest to find the lemon poppy seed cake recipe that my mother used to make. I thought I had the complete Poppy Seed Cake and Filling recipe from my brother-in-law, but I only had the filling portion. This is what I have:

Advertisement

2 cups milk
1/2 tsp salt
1/2 cup sugar
1 tbsp butter
2 tbsp cornstarch
5 egg yolks
1 1/2 tsp vanilla
1/2 cup nuts (optional)
Commbine milk, sugar, cornstarch, salt and egg yolks. Cook over low heat until thick and add butter and vanilla and stir. Let cool before pouring over cake. Add nuts if desired. Frost with favorite white boiled frosting.

I hope this is what we have all been looking for.

My mom used a fluffy white frosting.
