Makovica
Don't be fooled and wave your hand before reading the recipe: this is not a poppy seed (which still needs a lot of rolling around the kitchen), but a very simple poppy seed cake, which only takes a little over an hour.
Preparation steps
- Whisk the egg yolks, butter and sugar.
- Cook the poppy seeds in candied milk, then cool. Separately beat the solid egg whites.
- Add the cooled poppy seeds, raisins, grated lemon zest and lemon juice, rum to the egg yolk mixture, mix well and finally lightly stir in the egg whites.
- Pour the mixture into a baking pan, previously greased with butter and sprinkled with flour.
- Bake for about 30 minutes at a temperature of 180-200 ° C.
Serving
Cut the cake into cubes and serve with whipped sweet cream.
