INGREDIENTS

  • Dry Ingredients

    • ¼ cup poppy seeds
    • 2 ½ cups all-purpose flour
    • 1 teaspoon baking soda
    • 2 tablespoons baking powder
    • 🍫 ¾ cup miniature dark chocolate chips
    • Cinnamon sugar to taste

  • Wet Ingredients

    • 1 cup buttermilk
    • 🥚 4 egg whites
    • 🥚 4 egg yolks
    • 🧈 1 cup butter
    • 🧂 1 ¼ cups white sugar
    • 2 teaspoons vanilla extract

STEPS

1

Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C). Lightly grease and flour a Bundt or angel food cake pan.

2

Pour the poppy seeds into the buttermilk in a small bowl. Set aside to soak for 15 minutes.

3

Whip the egg whites to medium peaks; set aside.

4

Cream together the butter and sugar in a large bowl until fluffy. Add egg yolks one at a time, blending well between additions.

5

Sift the flour, baking soda, and baking powder into the egg mixture; fold gently to mix. Stir in the poppy seeds, milk, and vanilla extract. Gently fold in the beaten egg whites until just incorporated.

6

Pour half of the batter into the prepared pan. Sprinkle in the chocolate chips and cinnamon sugar. Pour the remaining batter over top, and sprinkle with additional cinnamon sugar. Swirl with a knife to distribute the chocolate and cinnamon.

7

Bake in the preheated oven until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean, about 1 hour.

8

Allow the cake to cool completely before removing from the pan.
