Bakery: Poppyseed Cheesecake

Two in one, it is! Poppy yeast cake is one of the symbols of Polish Christmas season. Cheesecakes as well, although traditionally they were baked more often in the time of Easter. This time a noble delicious mix. Not very easy to make, I must admit, especially if you attempt to grind the poppy yourself, that might prove to be a rather tiresome and time-consuming task. But believe me - home-ground poppy makes all the difference. The lower layer of the cake is shortcake, then the poppy layer (poppy, raisins, nuts, honey, powdered sugar, eggs - separately, perhaps some orange peel, some butter) and then the cheese layer (cheese, eggs - separately, powdered sugar, butter) and you're good to go. The effect - extremely tasty if you're in for that sort of thing. If you've got some experience, that's a cake for you to bake! Satisfaction guaranteed. And so is the effect. Delicious!
For the recipe, in Polish go here, in English it would have to be something like this.
