Preparation procedure

  • Dough preparation: Grate the boiled potatoes finely. Add the flour with the baking powder, sugar, a pinch of salt, the egg and the softened butter. Work into a smooth dough.
  • Preparing the poppy-seed filling: Mix the ground poppy seeds with the sour cream, sugar and a pinch of cinnamon. Briefly cook the mixture over low heat and let it cool. Add the yolks to the cooled mixture and finally gently fold in the beaten egg whites.
  • Assembling the cake: Divide the dough into three parts. Roll out a flat round from each portion. Place the first round on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper and spread the poppy-seed filling on it. Cover with the second round, spread the filling again and finish with the third round. Brush the top round with the beaten egg.
  • Baking: Bake the cake in a preheated oven at 180 °C for approximately 25-30 minutes, until the surface is nicely golden.

Enjoy this delicious cake full of traditional flavors! 😊
