Yield: 1 Bundt(R) cake

Ingredients

  1. ⅓ cup white sugar
  2. 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
  3. 1 cup buttermilk
  4. 2 ounces poppy seeds
  5. 2 ½ cups all-purpose flour
  6. 2 teaspoons baking powder
  7. 1 teaspoon baking soda
  8. ½ teaspoon salt
  9. 1 ½ cups white sugar
  10. 1 cup unsalted butter, softened
  11. 4 large eggs, separated, divided
  12. 1 teaspoon almond extract (Optional)

Instructions

  1. Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C). Grease a 10-inch fluted tube pan (such as Bundt®.
  2. Combine sugar and cinnamon for filling in a small bowl; set aside.
  3. Combine buttermilk and poppy seeds for cake in a small bowl; allow to soak until needed. Sift flour, baking powder, baking soda, and salt together in a medium bowl.
  4. Cream sugar and butter together in a separate bowl. Beat in egg yolks. Add flour mixture in 2 batches, alternating with buttermilk-poppy seed mixture, beating batter briefly after each addition.
  5. Beat egg whites in a glass, metal, or ceramic bowl until foamy. Fold into cake batter with almond extract. Spoon 1/3 of the batter into the prepared pan and sprinkle with 1/2 of the sugar-cinnamon filling; repeat. Spoon remaining batter on top.
  6. Bake in the preheated oven until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean, about 1 hour. Cool in the pan for 1 hour, then loosen cake and invert carefully onto a serving plate.
  7. If you don’t have buttermilk, place 2 1/2 teaspoons white vinegar or lemon juice in a 1-cup liquid measure. Fill the rest of the way with milk.

Such a nice coffee cake! I especially loved the texture of the cake. Very light. I did add a teaspoon of almond extract and think I’d add an extra 1/2 teaspoon next time. Also, my cake was done at 50 minutes and I probably could have taken it out of the oven after 45 minutes. All in all, a really nice recipe. Thanks so much for sharing.

I added 1&1/2 t. cinnamon. Cake was really moist and very good with my hot cup of tea.
