Poppy Seed Coconut Cake Topped with rich chocolate glazing

2022-03-11

Jump To Recipe Print Recipe

In those innocent pre-web days, a cake usually got the name of the person from whom we got the recipe: “Ella – black-white black cake“, “Irit cheesecake topped with sour cream” (recipe? soon!), “Amira fluffy “cheesecake” (recipe soon too), and last but not least – “Leah’s poppy seed cake!

This poppy seed cake was one of my favorites. I used to make it frequently in my pre-vegan era.
While I was thinking of recipes for the blog, I recalled that the recipe is still waiting for me in my old recipe binder on a checkered yellowing page, with my handwriting (which is often hard, even for me to decipher).

It was a layered cake consisting of a crispy crust baked until golden. On top of it, there was a juicy, soft filling of poppy seed and coconut, with egg yolks and whipped egg whites coated with rich chocolate glazing.

The vegan version makes the cake even better: although the whipped egg whites yield a high fluffy cake, it is at the expense of the juiciness of the filling and the bold taste of the poppy seed. So I replaced the yolks with vegan butter, which, like yolks, contains lecithin (of plant origin, of course). I also replaced the whipped egg whites with apple puree and almond butter and lowered the quantity of baking powder to get a more delicate dough.

The cake is not difficult to make, and the result is festive and addictive.

This cake makes a perfect match for the Hungarian Djerbo cake (recipe coming soon)❣️

We usually make cakes and cookies with poppy seed on Purim, a Jewish holiday that will occur next week.

Enjoy and a Happy Purim🥳🌺
