I noticed this recipe on a forum, it is also called quick cake with poppy seeds and coconut, but I say that it is still a nicer cake. Very good, with poppy taste and coconut aroma, in addition it is prepared quickly - perfect for the lazy and greedy :)

Step by step

Step 1

In a bowl, beat the eggs with sugar and vanilla extract until foamy.

Step 2

Melt 150g of butter in a bowl - then allow to cool.

Step 3

Over the eggs and sugar add the cooled butter, mix well.

Step 4

Next, 200g of sour cream, mix.

Step 5

Then add the coconut, poppy seeds and grated lemon peel - mix well.

Step 6

In a glass, mix the flour with the baking powder and add them to the previous composition. Mix the dough well so that it is free of lumps.

Step 7

The dough is poured into a 26/28 cm tray, lined with baking paper. Bake for about 30-40 minutes at medium temperature.

Step 8

Until the cake is baked, we will prepare the icing for it.

In a bowl, put on medium heat 100ml of sweet cream and 30g of butter - stir periodically until it starts to boil.

Step 9

When it starts to boil, remove it from the heat, add the chocolate and the liqueur, and stir continuously with a spoon until the composition is uniform and all the chocolate melts - then set it aside.

Step 10

When the cake is browned, take it out of the oven and place it on a plate.

Step 11

Carefully distribute all the icing on the surface of the cake, be careful not to run it - pour more in the middle.

Step 12

Then beautify as you like - I sprinkled coconut, and leave in the fridge to cool the icing. I didn't have time to cool him down, because I had guests - and he was fine anyway.

Good appetite!
