Poppy seeds… I am not sure that they have much of a flavor but I still wanted to make poppy seed cake or cupcakes, so  for my mom’s birthday cake I decided to make poppy seed cake. I first checked out a recipe that I almost tried but decided against it because you needed to add 8 egg yolks and I said “No way!” So I went back to the cook book my aunt made a few years ago with family recipes and I found a very good one… and gave it my own twist it calls for 4 yolks so its a little better.
