Queen Esther Poppy Cake

Step-by-step preparation

Cooking time: 2 hr

1. STEP 1

   

   You need to start with the cream, because it needs to cool.

2. STEP 2

   

   Zest the lemon, then squeeze out the juice. Mix sugar, milk, yolks, starch over low heat and bring to a boil.

3. STEP 3

   

   Add lemon zest and juice, cook until thickened. Add chocolate. Leave the cream to cool under the film, then put it in the refrigerator for an hour.

4. STEP 4

   

   For the cakes: beat eggs, whites, sugar for 5 minutes until volume increases. Add vanilla tincture, vegetable oil. Separately mix flour, baking powder, salt, ground poppy seeds. Gently mix the dry mixture using the folding method with the beaten eggs.

5. STEP 5

   

   Pour the dough onto a sheet of parchment paper, level it, bake until light golden brown, 7-8 minutes at 200 degrees. (preheat the oven). Remove the cake, cover with paper, a towel and cool. Remove the top sheet, along with it the thin top crust will be removed from the cake. Cut the cake crosswise into three parts.

6. STEP 6

   

   Whip the cream, add buttercream and grated chocolate.

7. STEP 7

   

   Coat each cake with cream.

8. STEP 8

   

   And assemble the poppy seed cake. You can decorate as desired. But it turns out beautiful when cut, so you don’t have to decorate it.

9. STEP 9

   

   Bon appetit!

The cake, if it works out, is delicious, but the recipe is written disgustingly and not correctly!!!!!!

Dear Anyuta, point your finger at the place that you considered “illiterate” in the recipe. So that I can admire it and gloat with you. PS The word “not correctly” is misspelled. First, learn to read and write yourself, and then go around rubbing others’ noses in it.

I registered specifically to leave a review under this wonderful cake. I made it for the Makoveya holiday - my family was wildly delighted. Thanks for the recipe!!! The only thing is that I took confectionery cream instead of regular cream - it turned out even cooler... and I added... more chocolate to the cream.
