Libbies Poppy Seed Cake SERVES 20

This is from my Czech momma in law. It is a really good cake. You must soak the poppy seeds overnight or they will sink to the bottom of the cake. This seems like a lot of poppy seeds, but it works. It's a rich cake folks, but holds well and everyone seems in a mellow mood after eating it. lol

  • 2/3 cup poppy seed

  1. Soak poppy seeds in 1 1/4 c milk overnight.
