My daughter and I made some of my mom's poppy seed cake. I've eaten this every Christmas for as long as I can remember remembering. It's something I make throughout the year, but I must make at Christmastime. Here's the recipe if you'd like to make it.
Poppy Seed Cake Recipe
2 c sugar
1 ½ c vegetable oil
3 c flour - sifted
1 can (12 oz.) evaporated milk
4 large eggs
4 heaping Tbsp Poppy Seeds
1 ½ tsp baking soda
½ cup chopped walnuts
½ tsp salt
Preheat oven to 350 degrees. In a very large bowl, combine the sugar and eggs; beat well. Add oil and cream well, about 2 minutes. In a separate medium-sized bowl, sift together the dry ingredients. Alternate adding the dry ingredients and the can of milk to the egg mixture until well combined. Gently fold in poppy seeds and walnuts. Pour into a greased bundt pan & bake 1 hr. For cupcakes, bake 25-30 minutes. For jumbo cupcakes, bake 35-40 minutes.
