Poppy Seed Cake with Peach Jelly – notes
Today I have a recipe for a simple, yet delightful and incredibly tasty poppy seed cake with whipped cream and mascarpone cheese. With delicious peach jelly inside. Plus, a light and always reliable cream made from mascarpone cheese. And all on a delicious and simple poppy seed sponge cake with unmilled poppy seeds. The poppy seeds don’t need to be scalded and ground, so the sponge cake can be prepared very quickly and easily.
How to make poppy seed sponge cake for a cake – tips
We prepare the sponge cake itself similarly to a regular white sponge cake. The main difference is adding poppy seeds and baking powder to the flour. To make the sponge cake nicely fluffy and stable, I recommend first thoroughly mixing the egg whites with sugar (into a thick and white foam). Then, add the egg yolks to the beaten egg whites and mix gently, and finally add the dry ingredients and mix gently as well.
How to mix the flour for the sponge cake?
You can do this with a mixer – but mix on low speed so as not to break the foam. Or mix with a spatula/spoon. Transfer the prepared poppy seed sponge cake to a springform pan (mine was 22 cm in diameter) and bake in an oven preheated to 170 degrees (convection) or 180 degrees (top and bottom heat).
How long to bake poppy seed sponge cake?
I baked it for about 30 minutes in an oven preheated to 180 degrees (top/bottom heat). Check with a skewer if the cake is baked – if a skewer inserted into the center (e.g., a kebab skewer) is still wet, you need to bake the sponge cake a little longer. Cool the finished poppy seed sponge cake and cut it into two layers.
Check out my detailed recipe to learn how to make jelly for a cake. I prepared peach jelly from peach jam. But if you don’t like the peach flavor, you can make jelly in a different flavor – just choose a different jam flavor and a matching jelly :)
