Poppy Seed Bundt Cake
Ingredients:
2 cups all-purpose flour
⅛ tsp. salt
2 Tbsp. baking powder
⅓ cup poppy seeds
1¾ cups granulated sugar, divided
½ cup butter
1 cup milk, divided
1 tsp. vanilla extract
4 large eggs - whites only
powdered sugar for garnishing, if desired
Instructions:
Preheat oven to 350° F. Grease and flour Bundt pan. Sift flour, salt and baking powder together. Stir in poppy seeds and set aside.
Cream butter and 1¼ cups granulated sugar. Stir in ¼ cup milk and vanilla. Alternately and slowly add flour mixture and ¾ cup milk, stirring gently after each addition, beginning and ending with flour.
Beat egg whites in a large bowl until they stand in soft peaks and then beat in remaining ½ cup sugar.
Fold egg whites into cake batter. Pour batter into greased Bundt pan and bake for 35-40 minutes or until a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean. Allow to cool for a few minutes in the Bundt pan before inverting on a wire rack.
If desired, sift powdered sugar over the top of cake before serving.
