Ingredients:
For the Cake:
- 250g all-purpose flour
- 200g sugar
- 200g unsalted butter, softened
- 4 large eggs
- 200g ground poppy seeds
- 200g sour cream
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1 tablespoon baking powder
- A pinch of salt
For the Topping:
- 200g sour cream
- 2 tablespoons powdered sugar
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
For Garnish:
- Powdered sugar for dusting
Instructions:
- Preheat your oven to 180°C (350°F). Grease and flour a 9-inch (23 cm) springform pan.
- In a large mixing bowl, cream together the softened butter and sugar until light and fluffy.
- Add the eggs one at a time, beating well after each addition. Stir in the vanilla extract.
- In a separate bowl, whisk together the flour, ground poppy seeds, baking powder, and a pinch of salt.
- Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients, alternating with the sour cream. Begin and end with the dry ingredients, mixing until just combined.
- Pour the batter into the prepared springform pan and smooth the top with a spatula.
- Bake in the preheated oven for 40-45 minutes or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean. Allow the cake to cool completely in the pan on a wire rack.
- For the topping, mix together the sour cream, powdered sugar, and vanilla extract until well combined.
- Once the cake has cooled, spread the sour cream topping evenly over the top of the cake.
- Refrigerate the cake for at least 2 hours to allow the topping to set.
- Before serving, dust the top of the cake with powdered sugar for a decorative touch.
- Slice, serve, and enjoy your “Boahhh das ist einfach supersaulecker!” Mohn Schmandkuchen
