This delicate cake combines a tender base with a light, crunchy top, a great contrast and perfect for impressing guests given the creative twist!

The poppy seeds add both a wonderful pattern but also a little bit of texture and a slighlty nutty flavour.

The glaze should only be added just before the cake is eaten, otherwise it will cause the topping to become soggy. This could be important to consider if you choose to store the cake, in which case it would be better to keep the glaze in a pot which can then be poured just before consuming.
