This cake is kind of an experiment ;)

I was planning to bake another cake – half way through I realized I did not have everything I needed and was too lazy to go to the store again… so I decided to use what I had in my cabinets… poppy seed and apples. I like this combination, so I decided to go for it ;)

The result is a thin yeast cake with a kind of poppy seed cheesecake filling and apples on top – sounds good, right?

DIRECTIONS / ZUBEREITUNG

  • English
  • Deutsch

1. Add the milk for the filling to a sauce pan and bring to a boil. Add the poppy seeds and let soak for 15-20 minutes on low heat. Remove from the heat and let cool down.

2. Heat up the milk for the dough, add the butter and let it melt. Let cool down, so it is only lukewarm (less than 104°F). In a large bowl mix flour, sugar and dry yeast. Set aside.

3. Add the milk-butter mix to the flour and mix. Knead for 10 minutes to get a nice smooth dough. Cover with a kitchen towel and let rise for 30 minutes.

4. Preheat the oven to 350˚F (180°C). Grease a 10 inch (26cm) springform tin. Roll out the dough on a floured durface and place in the tin. Press the dough to the sides, so you get a 1 inch (ca. 2cm) edge. Prick the base with a fork and cover with a kitchen towel and set aside.

5. For the filling mix the schmand (or crème fraîche) with the soaked poppy seeds, heavy cream, sugar, cornstarch, vanilla extract and eggs until well combined. Transfer to the springform tin. Wash the apples with hot water and dry. Quarter, core and cut into thin slices (remove the apple peel if you don’t like it). Arrange the slices in a circle starting from outside to the middle on top of the filling and let bake for 35-40 minutes.

1. Milch für die Füllung aufkochen. Mohn zufügen und zugedeckt bei sehr schwacher Hitze 15-20 Minuten quellen lassen. Vom Herd nehmen und abkühlen lassen.

2. Milch erwärmen und die Butter darin schmelzen lassen. So weit abkühlen lassen, dass die Mischung nur noch lauwarm ist (darf nicht über 40°C haben). In einer großen Schüssel das Mehl mit Zucker und Trockenhefe mitschen und zur Seite stellen.

3. Die Milch-Butter Mischung zum Mehl geben und alles in ca. 10 Minuten zu einem glatten Teig verkneten. Mit einem Küchentuch abdecken und etwa 30 Minuten gehen lassen.

4. Den Ofen auf 180°C (350°F) vorheizen. Eine 26cm (10 inches) Springform fetten. Teig auf leicht bemehlter Fläche ausrollen und in die Form legen. An den Seiten den Teig zu einem ca. 2cm (1 inch) hohen Rand andrücken. Den Boden mehrmals mit einer Gabel einstechen und dann alles mit einem Küchentuch abdecken und zur Seite stellen.

5. Für die Füllung den Schmand mit der Mohnmasse, Sahne, Zucker, Stärke, Vanille Extrakt und Eiern gut verrühren. In die Form füllen. Die Äpfel heiss abwaschen und trocknen. Vierteln, entkernen und in dünne Streifen schneiden (wer die Schale nicht mag, vorher schälen). Fächerförmig von Außen nach Innen auf die Schmandmasse legen und dann im Ofen für 35-40 Minuten backen.

About me


Hi, my name is Marc. I’m a graphic designer.
I love my job, but in between I love to bake and try new things in the kitchen. A lot of my friends and colleagues encourage me to bake – for a very simple reason: they get the leftovers – and it seems they like it most of the time. ;)
