Poppy cake with flour and without it

Cake poppy is found in the kitchens of different countries, and amateur culinary enthusiasts do not get tired to fill up the gastronomic treasury of the world with their own recipes. Let's consider some of the most interesting of them. Let's start with a simple - "Gentle biscuit cake with poppy". It prepares only an hour and a half. Four egg yolks are ground with 50 g of sugar white in a large bowl. In another bowl, whisk the whites with the same amount of sugar. In a third bowl, mix 100 g of flour, 130 g of dried poppy and a bag of vanilla sugar.

Cautiously, in several receptions, we shift the squirrels and yolks into a bowl with yolks, mix them with a wooden spatula, add 100 grams of melted butter and again stir. The form for biscuits is covered with parchment paper, we pour out the dough there, put it in the oven for 40-50 minutes at 180 ° C. The readiness should be checked (as always) with a match: the wooden stick stuck in the dough should remain dry. Poppy cake to take out and cool, then cut into 4 layers.

Now we will deal with the cream: 6 yolks weighed with 160 grams of sugar and a sachet of vanilla (you can add grated lemon zest). Half a liter of cream boil, pour a thin trickle into the egg mixture. Put on a tiny fire and constantly interfere, in any case not letting it boil. Transfer our poppy cake with hot cream layer by layer. Leave for an hour at room temperature, and then place in the refrigerator until the morning. If desired, you can decorate the top with glaze, cooked on a steam bath of chocolate tiles with butter.

Do not want to bother with the test Ohm? You can make a poppy seed cake without flour. There are two recipes for such a pie - "Japanese" and "For the lazy." Take 8 tablespoons crushed into a crumb of cheap cookies or breadcrumbs. Pour two cups of poppy seeds in half an liter and put on the fire, stirring until the mass thickens. Cool, then double-pass through the meat grinder. In the resulting gruel you need to add cookies and mix everything thoroughly. Then we take 8 eggs, separate the proteins, whisk them into a strong foam with one and a half glasses of sugar. Yolks are ground with half a glass of sugar. All mixed and put the oven for an hour in the oven at 180 C. For decoration, as it should be lazy, use the boiled condensed milk, mixed with butter and crushed nuts.

But the Japanese poppy cake, which is much harder to prepare, is surprisingly tender. So you want to create in his honor laudatory verse-hokku, but it will be more appropriate to bring his recipe. 150 g of poppy seeds are ground in a mortar (but it is possible and in a coffee grinder - it will be much faster). Fill with boiling water so that the water covers the seeds, leave for a quarter of an hour. Three apples are cleaned, Remove the core and rub it on a large grater. 120 g of butter beat, and then one by one add three egg yolks. During this time the poppy should already absorb all the water. Slightly decant it and add it to the oily-egg mixture together with a tablespoon of honey and grated apples.

Now it only remains to add 3 tablespoons of semolina, as much powdered sugar, a spoon of vegetable oil and a packet of cookie powder to the poppy cake. We still have squirrels! We mix them with a mixer in a hard foam and add to the dough in three sets, constantly gently kneading the spoon from the bottom up. Fill in the baking dish and - into the oven. Such a handsome man needs a particularly delicate cream: creamy or from condensed milk simply "clogs" the delicate taste of the cakes. The Japanese recommend interlining cake with whipped cream, and decorate the top with caramelized slices of apples with sour jelly.
