Poppy Seed Bundt Cake

SUBMITTED BY: Dana Koss 

"This recipe, passed down from my mother, is perfect for church or social functions. I can be made ahead (it freezes beautifully) and is not sticky or crumbly--that's important if you're trying to walk around and socialize."

INGREDIENTS

  • 6 tablespoons poppy seeds
  • 1 cup buttermilk
  • 1 cup butter or margarine, softened
  • 1 1/2 cups sugar
  • 4 eggs, separated
  • 2 1/2 cups all-purpose flour
  • 2 teaspoons baking powder
  • 1 teaspoon baking soda
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt
  • FILLING:
  • 1/3 cup sugar
  • 2 teaspoons unsweetened cocoa
  • 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon

DIRECTIONS

  1. Place poppy seeds and buttermilk in a bowl; soak for 2 hours. In a large mixing bowl, cream butter until fluffy. Add sugar and egg yolks; beat well. Combine remaining dry ingredients; add alternately with poppy seeds/buttermilk to creamed mixture. In another bowl, beat egg whites until stiff. Fold into batter; set aside. Combine filling ingredients; sprinkle one-third into bottom of a greased and floured 10-in. bundt pan. Pour in half of batter; "swirl" in half of remaining filling. Add remaining batter and filling; again swirling together. Bake at 350 degrees F for 1 hour. Turn out immediately onto wire rack to cool.
