By the way, what do you know about poppy? The most important thing: poppy is a record holder for calcium content! Yes, yes, not sesame seeds, not chia seeds, not parsley... but poppy seeds! It contains a large amount of vegetable protein - up to 20% of the total weight of the grain. Also, poppy seeds contain a lot of oily substances - up to 50% of the total weight, monounsaturated fatty acids (in particular oleic acid, which prevents the formation of cholesterol plaques on the walls of blood vessels). Maca contains a lot of B vitamins, which have a beneficial effect on the nervous system; Vitamin PP, which improves blood circulation, affects blood flow, is used to combat allergies, diarrhea, dermatitis and dementia.
That's why we eat poppy seeds and bake poppy seeds pie! For this we need:
poppy – 400 g,
eggs – 5 pieces,
sugar – 100 g,
butter – 140 g,
cocoa – 1-2 tsp,
cardamom - a pinch.
First, separate the whites from the yolks. The whites need to be beaten to stiff peaks, then add sugar and go through the mixer again until the sugar dissolves. Pour 400 grams of poppy seeds into a bowl in advance and add the whites to them. The mass needs to be mixed, but this should be done carefully and slowly, from top to bottom with a spatula, so that the whites do not fall off.
Next, beat the yolks with a mixer with butter softened to room temperature along with cocoa and cardamom (You can use any spice to your taste: cinnamon, nutmeg, cloves, star anise, etc.). Add the yolks mixed with butter to the whites with poppy seeds. The mass again needs to be mixed carefully and well, but again make sure that the whites do not fall off! They are the ones who will keep the shape of our pie.
For baking we need a springform pan. The form should be covered with parchment paper. Place the cake in the mold, level it and place in a preheated oven for 30 minutes at 180 degrees. Check the readiness of the pie with a toothpick.
The finished pie must cool completely! If you start cutting it while it's hot, it will fall apart. Ideally, it is best to cook it in the evening and leave it overnight. Yummy food awaits you in the morning! At the restaurant, this pie is topped with hot chocolate. You can try making live chocolate or eat the pie just like that – it’s good either way!
Bon appetit!

Gluten allergies are becoming more and more common, so baking without wheat flour is increasingly in demand. A simple poppy seed cake is made without flour and can be eaten by those on a gluten-free diet.
In my family, this issue is not acute, it seems that everyone can eat regular one, but I still took an interest in the topic.
Recipe for poppy seed pie without flour
Ingredients:
- 120 g poppy seed
- 50 g butter
- 2 eggs
- 50 g sugar
- 1 tsp vanilla (you can add cinnamon, lemon zest, cardamom and other spices)
Remove the butter from the refrigerator in advance to warm it up.
Prepare the pan: line it with baking paper, grease the sides with butter and sprinkle with flour.
Before kneading the dough, preheat the oven to 175°, because everything else is very fast.
How to prepare poppy seed dough
First you need to grind the poppy seeds. A coffee grinder is best for this.
Grind the poppy seeds in several stages in the “pulse” mode for a total of 8-10 seconds.
- Separate the eggs into whites and yolks.
- Add a pinch of salt to the whites and beat until fluffy. Then pour in half the sugar and beat until stiff peaks form.
- Beat the other half of the sugar with soft butter until light.
- Add vanilla.
- Mix in the yolks one at a time.
- After this, add all the poppy seeds and mix with a spatula.
- Combine the mixture with the whites, first a little at a time to equalize the consistency, then add all the whites and mix gently.
Place the dough in the pan and place in the oven for about 25 minutes. Check readiness with a wooden skewer.
Remove the finished cake from the mold and either sprinkle with powdered sugar, or cover with chocolate glaze, or you can make a lemon glaze from lemon juice and powdered sugar and cover with it.
This pie can also be used as a crust or base for making gluten-free cakes and pastries.
