Old Fashioned Poppy Seed Cake
"NO – you can’t get high on poppy seed cakes. YES – poppy seeds do have some pain alleviating and sleep aiding qualities, to quite an insignificant extent. DEBATABLE – whether eating poppy seed bagels or muffins can make you fail a drug test. Urban and peasant legends aside, those tiny black seeds deserve a legendary status in baking and pastry making, instead of just being warily sprinkled on a bread loaf or scantily scattered across a lemon drizzle slice. They also make quite an incredible tasting cake, the one below. What can I say? One of the best ever (and I’ve baked a few…)."
