| 1. Soak poopy seeds in the milk and vanilla overnight. | 2. Cream butter until soft. Add the sugar gradually and cream well. | 3. Sift the flour, baking powder and salt together. | 4. Blend the flour and poppy-seed mixtures alternately into the creamed butter mix. Blend well. | 5. Whip the egg whites until stiff and fold into mixture. | 6. Pour the batter into 2 buttered and lightly floured 8" layer cake tines, and bake 30 minutes in a preheated 350º oven. | 7. Let cool a little in the pans before turning out onto racks. | 8. If you wish you can cut each layer in half and spread filling between four layers. Whichever you choose to do, here's a suggestion for a mouth-watering between-the-layers spread: | 9. Beat the egg yolks until frothy. Mix sugar, cornstarch, milk and salt with the beaten yolks and cook in the top of a double boiler over hot water about 5 minutes. | 10. Stir constantly to keep the mixture from scorching. | 11. Grind nuts and add to cooked mixture with vanilla. | 12. Mix well, and spread between layers. | 13. Top the cake as follows: | 14. Stir the sugar with the rum until smooth. Add the water and beat well. | 15. Ice the sides and top of the cake.
