Without yeast and baking: how to make an airy poppy seed cake for tea

If you're not in the mood for baking and fiddling with dough today, a simple poppy seed pie in a pan is the perfect solution. As you can imagine, you don't have to turn on the oven, and the dough for the dessert is very simple to prepare: you just need to mix everything. During the cooking process, the cake rises well and turns out to be very fluffy.

Food blogger Viktoriia Kelbas (kelbas_v) shared a recipe for a poppy seed pie on her Instagram page that can be easily prepared in a frying pan.

Ingredients for a 24-26 cm frying pan:

• eggs – 3 pcs
• sugar – 180 g
• vanilla sugar – 10 g
• salt – 0.5 tsp
• sunflower oil – 100 ml
• milk – 200 ml
• flour – 300 g
• poppy seeds – 2 tbsp
• baking powder – 18 g

Method of preparation:

1. First, beat the eggs with sugar, vanilla sugar, and salt until creamy. You can use a regular whisk instead of a mixer.

2. Pour milk and oil into the resulting mass. Mix well.

3. Mix flour, poppy seeds, and baking powder separately. In several stages, pour the bulk ingredients into the egg-milk mixture. Mix well.

4. Next, cover the bottom of the pan with parchment, grease it, and the sides with vegetable oil. Pour in the dough.

5. Shake the pan a little so that the cake rises evenly. Bake under the lid over slightly lower than medium heat for 25-30 minutes.

6. As soon as the edges of the cake are dry, turn the cake over to the other side and bake under the lid for another 20-25 minutes.

7. Decorate the finished cake.
