This cake is moist and delicious; especially so if you love the flavoring of almond extract. The cake is lovely and unusual to look at: white with black dots from the poppy seeds; filled and topped with yellow almond flavored custard. It’s easy to take to a picnic, potluck or gourmet dinner. Just take the two cake layers and the bowl of custard. Assemble at your destination. Always a hit.
Ingredients
- ¾ cup poppy seeds
- ¾ cup water
- ¾ cup butter
- 1 ½ cups white sugar
- ½ cup nonfat dry milk powder
- 2 cups sifted all-purpose flour

Step 2
Cream butter and sugar together until light and fluffy.
