Simple poppy seed cake – notes
I can’t imagine Christmas without a poppy seed cake on the table.
If you too, and have little time, or don’t quite believe in your baking skills, then this quick creamed poppy seed cake on almond dough is just for you.
You can use ready-made poppy seed filling for it – from a can – which will significantly shorten and simplify baking.
For the base, we make a very easy creamed dough and bake everything together.
Finally, we drizzle the cake with a simple glaze, sprinkle with orange zest, and you can enjoy :)
The cake stays fresh for a long time – at my place, it sat outside – basically uncovered – for three days and didn’t even dry out too much :D
I also invite you to try my other recipes for poppy seed cakes – e.g., for swirl poppy seed cake, poppy seed cheesecake tarts or for a delicious poppy seed maiden cake.
Ps. I recommend following my instagram for delicious and easy recipes!

Recipe for poppy seed cake on a creamed dough
For these holidays, prepare with me a delicious and simple poppy seed cake. It's a combination of creamed almond dough with poppy seed filling. To give the cake an almond flavor, I added almond extract. But you can also use another extract - orange or rum would be great, for example. Choose a flavor that pairs well with poppy seeds. I used ready-made poppy seed filling from a can to make preparation as easy and quick as possible. Because this is a last-minute poppy seed cake. It's made quickly and put into the oven quickly :) If you want, you can enrich your poppy seed filling by adding chopped nuts and your favorite chopped dried fruits. These canned fillings are often "poor," so you can easily enrich them a bit with dried fruits - but it's not necessary, of course.
