Uh-oh! We're unable to calculate nutrition for this recipe because some ingredients aren't recognized.

Step 1

Preheat the oven to 170°C. Prepare syrup first: heat syrup sugar and water until the sugar dissolves. Remove from heat, stir in lemon juice and leave to cool.

Step 2

Beat the eggs and cake sugar until fluffy. Mix in milk, oil, poppy seeds, semolina, flour, baking powder and vanilla until smooth. Grease a baking tin or glass dish at least 5 cm deep. Pour in the mixture, leaving room for it to rise and for the topping.

Step 3

Bake until risen and cooked through, then remove and cool. The saved recipe does not give a baking duration or exact tray size.

Step 4

Slowly pour the cooled syrup over the cooled cake in small amounts, allowing it to absorb each time. Prepare whipping cream mix with milk according to its packet and spread over the cake. Decorate with nuts or orange peel if desired.
