This is a super easy and amazingly delicious cake that we usually make in a bread loaf pan (although cupcakes will do).
Mix poppy seeds and 1/4 cup milk and set aside. Cream shortening and sugar and add egg yolks. To buttermilk add poppy seed mixture, salt, soda and extracts.
In a mixing bowl, beat together all ingredients except the poppy seed for 5 minutes. Fold in poppy seed. Bake in angel food or bundt cake pan for 40-45 minutes at 350 degrees F.
Beat all together 3 minutes. Bake 350 degrees F oven for 40 minutes. . .

I used to have a recipe for a cake which had a custard filling and 7 minute frosting. Any help from anyone?

4 egg whites, beaten stiff
Cooking Directions
Ingredients should be at room temperature. Soak poppy seeds in cold water overnight. Sift flour. Measure and sift three times, together with baking powder and salt. Cream shortening. Add sugar and cream until fluffy. Add poppy seeds and water. Add dry ingredients and milk, alternately using low speed. Beat egg whites to a soft peak. Fold whites carefully into cake mixture. Bake in two greased 9 inch layer pans at 375 degrees for 18 to 20 minutes. Fill with custard filling and frost with 7 minute icing, or whipped chocolate frosting.
Custard Filling:
Ingredients

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.

Have fun and enjoy!
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 don't know if this is the one you are looking for, but here is one I found.
"3 Minute Delite" Poppy Seed Cake

2 cups sugar
12 ounces vegetable oil (11/2 cups)
4 eggs
1 teaspoon vanilla
1/2 teaspoon salt
11/2 teaspoons baking soda
1 14-ounce can evaporated milk
1 jar poppy seed filling, see note
1 cup chopped nuts, optional
Sift dry ingredients, add liquids and mix until smooth, then add 1 jar poppy seed filling.
Beat well on medium speed of mixer for 2 minutes. Use a 10-inch angel food tube pan. Do not grease the pan. Bake at 350 degrees for 1 hour, 10 minutes or until tested done. Cool cake before removing from pan.
Note: You may substitute nut, prune or date filling.
No ,it isn't the one.I am mostly looking for the cooked filling that goes on the cake and then you put the frosting on. THANKS FOR LOOKING!!
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:
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.
