Poppyseed Cake Recipe | Old Fashioned Flavor Made With Sour Cream


	Poppyseed Cake Recipe "Densely Rich With Sour cream" This poppyseed cake recipe is part of my Italian cakes collection. (This recipe was given to me by my grandma. The Italian one.) It has eggs and one of my favorites - sour cream! I hesitate to say it's one of my easy cake recipes - because you separate the eggs and beat the whites which is a separate "fold-in" step. Some people just don't deal with recipes if the eggs are separated. We use poppyseeds here and there in our Italian Dessert Recipes. And as a kid I never did see why the grownups thought they were so "cool". Nonetheless this was/is in my grandma's Italian cakes collection which she passed to me while she was still alive. Now - if you are looking for a lemon-y poppy seed cake. This isn't it. This is more of a pound cake taste. I do have a lemon pound cake recipe and a separate lemon dessert recipes section if you were thinking of a lemon poppyseed type cake. See the FAQs section below - for substitutes and ideas for this recipe. Thanks for stopping by - Lisa Italian Dessert Recipes Website Owner and Developer Hey - don't for get to "like" my page.

Substitutions and Questions Do I HAVE to use shortening? First off I HATE shortening, But there are some Italian cakes that do well with it. If you want to branch out I would say "yes" you could use butter. BUT I haven't tried it. So, you are on your own. Poppyseeds - too little too much? This poppyseed cake recipe was typed (yes, on a typewriter) by my grandma. And she "typed" - "1 Package of Poppyseeds". Well, they don't make packages of poppyseeds anymore - but my guestimate is 1 tablespoon. If you like more - please add more. I just eyeball until the batter looks like the way I want the cake to come out. Back to the top of the poppyseed cake recipe.

Fathers Day I can already tell you the main recipes that are viewed on Italian Dessert Recipes during the last few weeks before Fathers Day - CHOCOLATE desserts, CHOCOLATE CAKES, CHOCOLATE cheesecake - basically anything chocolate. Not sure why we think men need chocolate. But, it's a cyclical. I see it every year - all my chocolate dessert recipes get the highest viewings. So, to give you some ideas - here's what most of us cook for our men on Fathers Day: Recipe for Chocolate Cheesecake (I love this because it uses sour cream, and makes the chocolate have the bittersweet deep end flavor Chocolate Walnut Cake Chocolate Buttermilk Cake (Uses 3 sticks of butter - I make this about 4 times a year!) And if you don't want chocolate? Another great holiday cake, that I make for celebrations: Italian Rum Cake (Give yourself a day ahead of time to make this. It needs to soak about 24 hours to flavor.) Lisa Would you like to share this page? You know how to do it! Thanks for sharing the sugar love! Contact Me Privacy Policy About**
