  • Lemon cake with poppy seeds

    I once spoke about Poland's signature poppy seed cake, however, it was originally a Russian, Czech and Slovakian dessert. I know that at first the name of the recipe might seem a bit strange, it's not common to use poppy seeds when you cook. But, the day that I tried...
