Traditional Cakes
A traditional Polish poppy seed cake with a light, fluffy texture and a delicate orange flavour. Made with whisked egg whites, poppy seeds, raisins and Gellwe Orange Flavouring, this buttery homemade cake is wonderfully soft and packed with flavour. Perfect for afternoon tea, family gatherings or enjoying with a cup of coffee.
Melt the butter and leave to cool.
Whisk the egg whites until stiff peaks form. Gradually add the icing sugar, poppy seeds and flour mixed with Gellwe Baking Powder, followed by Gellwe Orange Flavouring and the rinsed raisins, stirring continuously.
Finally, add the melted butter and mix thoroughly. Transfer the batter to a baking tin greased with butter and dusted with breadcrumbs.
Bake in an oven preheated to 180°C for approximately 45 minutes.
Once baked, leave the cake in the oven with the door open for 15–20 minutes to prevent it from collapsing too quickly.
Enjoy!
