Heavenly Poppy Seed Cake with Plums

·
8 servings
  1. Poppy seed filling

    In a saucepan, bring the milk to a boil, then stir in the ground poppy seeds mixed with sugar, the Don Papa rum and the jam. Simmer everything together briefly, stirring so it doesn't catch on the bottom. Let it cool.

  2. Dough

    Mix all the dough ingredients together until you get a crumbly consistency. Press two-thirds of it into a round baking tin, covering the base and sides.

  3. Add the poppy seed filling

    Spread the poppy seed filling over the dough and arrange the pitted, halved plums on top. Sprinkle with the remaining dough.

  4. Bake

    Bake in an oven preheated to 180°C.

  5. Meringue and almonds
