Quick Whole Poppy Seed Cake with Chocolate Ganache

Step-by-step method

At a glance

You're making a delightful poppy seed cake with whole seeds (no grinding needed) topped with silky chocolate ganache. The magic happens in three main phases: whipping eggs with sugar into a fluffy foam, folding in the dry ingredients and wet components, then baking for about 40 minutes while you prepare the ganache by simply melting chocolate into hot cream.
