Ingredients:
1 cup all-purpose flour
1 cup sugar
1/2 cup poppy seeds
2 large eggs
1/2 cup milk
1/2 cup vegetable oil
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
1 teaspoon baking powder
1/4 teaspoon salt
Powdered sugar for dusting (optional)
Directions:
Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease and flour an 8-inch round or square cake pan.
In a large bowl, whisk together the flour, sugar, baking powder, and salt.
In another bowl, beat the eggs, milk, vegetable oil, and vanilla extract until smooth.
Gradually add the wet ingredients to the dry ingredients, mixing until combined.
Stir in the poppy seeds, ensuring they are evenly distributed throughout the batter.
Pour the batter into the prepared pan, smoothing it out with a spatula.
Bake in the preheated oven for 25–30 minutes or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.
Allow the cake to cool in the pan for 10 minutes before transferring it to a wire rack to cool completely.
Once cooled, dust the top with powdered sugar (optional) before serving.
Serving and Storage Tips:
Serve the cake as a stand-alone dessert, paired with a cup of tea or coffee for a perfect afternoon treat.
Store any leftovers in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 3 days, or refrigerate for up to 5 days.
If you want a richer experience, consider pairing the cake with fresh whipped cream or a scoop of vanilla ice cream.
