Cake with poppy seeds walnuts and raisins

Step-by-step cooking

1. Step 1:

   

   Let's prepare the ingredients for the cake according to the list. You need to bake three sponge cakes with different additives. If desired, you can make sponge cake dough from all the ingredients, and then divide it into three parts and add different additives to each of them: poppy seeds, raisins and walnuts. Or immediately divide the ingredients into three parts, from each to prepare a dough with filler.

2. Step 2:

   

   We will prepare fillers for cakes in advance: poppy seeds, raisins and walnuts. Walnuts are washed, put in fireproof dishes and dried in a microwave oven or in the oven. We let the nuts cool down and become crispy and chop them with a rolling pin or a blender into small pieces or into crumbs, as you like.

3. Step 3:

   

   Wash the raisins thoroughly under running water, pour boiling water and leave for 15 minutes so that it swells well. Then drain the water, dry the raisins on a paper towel.

4. Step 4:

   

   The poppy should also be rinsed to remove dust and dirt, pour boiling water over it, leave it for 5 minutes so that the poppy swells. Then we fold the poppy onto a gauze or strainer so that all the liquid is glass. We rub the poppy in a mortar with a pestle so that it becomes softer and more tender.

5. Step 5:

   

   Prepare the sponge dough. In a deep bowl or blender bowl, beat in a chicken egg, add 50 g of sugar and beat with a blender or whisk until a thick foam is obtained.

6. Step 6:

   

   Then add a pinch of baking powder and 50 g of sifted wheat flour, gently knead the dough with a spoon so that it does not settle. Add the prepared walnuts.

7. Step 7:

   

   Put the sponge dough in a greased form with butter. Preheat the oven to 180 degrees. Bake the biscuit for about 25 minutes, check the readiness with a wooden toothpick.

9. Step 8:

   

   In a similar way, we make the dough for the other two cakes, only changing the additives: prepared raisins and poppy seed filling.

10. Step 9:

    

    While the sponge cakes are cooling, we will make a cream for the cake.

11. Step 10:

    

    Sour cream (it is better to take a high percentage of fat content) is whipped with sugar and vanilla until a thick homogeneous mass is obtained. Let the cream cool down a little in the refrigerator.

12. Step 11:

    

    We lubricate the cakes with cream and stack them in any sequence. Lubricate the top and sides with sour cream.

13. Step 12:

    

    Let the cake cool well in the refrigerator and sprinkle with grated chocolate or decorate in another way.

    Have a nice tea party!
