Equipment

  • Bundt Pan

Ingredients
  

  • 2 cups all-purpose flour
  • 1/8 teaspoon salt
  • 2 teaspoons baking powder
  • 1/3 cup poppy seeds
  • 1 3/4 cups granulated sugar divided
  • 1/2 cup butter
  • 1 cup milk divided
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 4 large egg whites
  • powdered sugar for garnishing

Instructions
 

  • Preheat oven to 350 degrees F. Grease and flour a bundt pan.
  • Cream together butter and 1 ¼ cups of the granulated sugar. Stir in ¼ cup milk and vanilla.
  • Sift together flour, salt, and baking powder. Stir in poppy seeds. Set aside.
  • Alternately add the flour mixture and the ¾ cup milk, a little bit at a time, stirring gently after each addition, starting and ending with flour.
  • Beat the 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. 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.
  • Sift powdered sugar over the top of the cake before serving.
