Introduction:
Mohnkuchen, or poppy seed cake, is a beloved classic in many parts of Europe. Known for its rich, nutty flavor and moist texture, this cake is a perfect balance between sweet and savory. If you're craving a delicious homemade dessert but short on time, this 10-minute Mohnkuchen recipe is the answer! With a few simple ingredients and a quick prep time, you’ll have a delightful treat that’s sure to impress.
Ingredients:
200g ground poppy seeds
200g all-purpose flour
150g sugar
100g unsalted butter, melted
2 eggs
200ml milk
1 packet of baking powder (about 10g)
1 tsp vanilla extract
A pinch of salt
Powdered sugar (for garnish)
Directions:
Preheat the oven: Start by preheating your oven to 180°C (350°F). Grease a baking pan or line it with parchment paper for easy removal.
Mix dry ingredients: In a large bowl, combine the flour, sugar, ground poppy seeds, baking powder, and a pinch of salt.
Prepare wet ingredients: In another bowl, whisk together the eggs, milk, melted butter, and vanilla extract.
Combine: Gradually add the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients, mixing until a smooth batter forms. Be sure to avoid overmixing, as this can make the cake dense.
Bake: Pour the batter into the prepared baking pan, smoothing the top with a spatula. Bake in the preheated oven for about 30-35 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.
Cool and serve: Once baked, allow the cake to cool slightly before dusting with powdered sugar. Slice and enjoy!
Serving and Storage Tips:
Serving: This Mohnkuchen is delicious when served warm with a dollop of whipped cream or a scoop of vanilla ice cream. It also pairs well with a cup of tea or coffee for an afternoon treat.
Storage: Store any leftovers in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 3 days. If you want to keep it longer, the cake can also be refrigerated for up to a week. To maintain its moisture, wrap the cake tightly in plastic wrap before storing.
