Ingredients:  
Ingredients:  
1/2 cup poppy seeds soaked in 1 cup water for about 2 hours up to 2 days-the longer the better-the truth is life is busy and they usually start to ferment on the counter top before I get around to using them:)
2 cups of sifted flour-its worth the extra effort to sift
1 1/2 cups sugar
3 tsp baking powder
7 egg yolks
1/2 cup oil
1 tsp vanilla
Mix well.

In separate bowl:
7 egg whites-eggs at room temperature
1/2 tsp cream of tartar
1/2 tsp salt
1/2 tsp baking soda

Directions:
Directions:
Beat egg whites until very stiff-I heat up the beaters with warm water if it's winter or I guess summer too if you live in Alberta. Pour poppy seed mixture on top and fold into eggs-works better than the reverse with less mixing. Don't grease pan. Bake at 325 for about one hour in an angel food pan. Don't over cook. Invert and cool.

Personal Notes:
Personal Notes:
This is the best and moistest poppy cake recipe I have found-over the last 20 years. There isn't a special occasion, bake sale or a birthday for Amanda that I haven't made this recipe.
When Amanda came home from Florida to visit she wanted me to greet her at the airport with a poppy seed cake! My daughter is a true Baruta!
