Polish poppy seed cake question



leahmary00   Oct 27, 09, 14:54 /  #
Hello, a few years ago while I was living in Chicago,
my landlord brought over a slice of cake from a polish deli,
I think it was Kurowski's. Anyway, the cake was so dense with
poppy seeds that initially I thought it was chocolate.
Any idea what this may have been? It didn't have a filling,
and not much of a glaze or frosting. I found a couple
recipes for Makowiec but that just doesn't sound like the
cake that I had.
Thanks,
leah.

Could it be makówki, rather than makowiec? I think there's a small difference.

I'd guess that just another way to bake a "Makowiec", you just need to mince these poppy seeds into a finer form..

Well, my first impression was that she was describing makowiec so I suggested makówki. With chocolate? Hmm...a preference perhaps?

http://www.rysch.com/kuchnia/makowki_slaskie.htm, Makówki is a Silesian speciality at Xmas time. I've had it the last 2 years here.

What about american poppy seed cake? It just has powder sugar on it and is dark looking.

Hi
I bought what sounds to be a similar cake at Laramie Bakery in Chicago. My mom, born in Poland, called it Tort Makowy when she saw it. But she said that name can refer to many kinds of poppy seed CAKE, (i.e. as opposed to makowiec, which is like a bread...)
I am actually on line looking for a similar recipe. Laramie's cake is about 2" solid poppyseed and raisins, on what is almost like a Polish cheesecake crust. Heavenly!
I am also thinking about making a French Dame Blanche cookie with a poppyseed filling, sort of a delicious crossing of cultures...
