This was a Slovak traditional cake that was passed down in my family which I make for special occasions and now its my birthday cake. Solo still prints the recipe on the back of its label of Poppy Seed filling. I did not find the recipe in here and wanted to share this truly delectable for all to enjoy since I hate seeing lemon with it-just ruins it. I hear complaints that people think poppy seed is dry and stay away from it. You haven't eaten it properly then! I love poppy seed! It is so addicting! Very moist and good right out of the oven. Even better next day when flavors have mellowed. Its really good cold too. Its so good, it doesn't need frosting!!

Ingredients

  • 1 cup butter (softened-I used butter better for the cake) or 1 cup margarine (softened-I used butter better for the cake) 1 1/2 cups sugar 12 1/2 ounces solo ground poppy seed filling (1 can) 4 egg yolks 4 egg whites 1 teaspoon vanilla extract 1 cup sour cream (diary) 2 1/2 cups all-purpose flour 1 teaspoon baking soda 1 teaspoon salt
