Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 1/2 cups all-purpose flour
  • 1/4 cup poppy seeds

  3. Cream the softened butter and granulated sugar until light and fluffy. Beat in the eggs one at a time, then stir in the vanilla extract.

  7. Let the cake cool in the pan for 10 minutes before transferring it to a wire rack to cool completely.
