About this recipe

This poppy seed cake with streusel topping is more than just a recipe for me; it is a memory of my childhood. My grandma always baked it, especially for birthdays or when the whole family got together. The smell of poppy seeds and butter that spread throughout the house is unforgettable. I have refined her recipe over the years and adapted it to the Thermomix® to make the preparation easier without changing the original taste. The ingredients all play an important role. The poppy seeds, of course, are the star. They provide the characteristic nutty note and the juicy texture. The ground almonds enhance this nutty flavor and give the cake an additional fine structure. The candied peel brings a slightly candied sweetness and an interesting texture to the poppy seed mixture. Bitter almond oil and honey round off the aroma and give the cake a special depth. The streusel, with their buttery sweetness and slight crunch, form a perfect contrast to the juicy poppy seed topping. With the Thermomix®, it is important to pay attention to the order of the ingredients. Always start with the liquid ingredients to achieve an optimal result. Make sure that the milk for the yeast mixture is not too hot, as the yeast will die otherwise. When chopping the candied peel, it is important not to mix for too long, otherwise it will become too fine. The poppy seed mixture should have enough time to soak after boiling so that the poppy seeds can absorb the liquid and the cake does not become too dry later. When making the streusel, it is important that the butter is cold so that it does not melt and the streusel becomes nice and crumbly. The recipe is already suitable for a vegetarian version. If you want to try a vegan version, you can replace the butter with margarine and use plant-based alternatives instead of the eggs. Agave nectar can be used instead of honey. Feel free to experiment with other spices! A touch of cinnamon or cardamom in the streusel or poppy seed mixture can give the cake an interesting note. Serve the poppy seed cake with a scoop of vanilla ice cream or a dollop of whipped cream. A glass of cold milk or a cup of coffee also go perfectly with it. The cake can be kept, well packaged, in the refrigerator for a few days. It can also be prepared well in advance: the yeast dough and the poppy seed mixture can be prepared the day before and stored in the refrigerator. However, the streusel should be prepared fresh, otherwise they will lose their crispness.
