Instructions

  1. Springform pan 26 cm - Bake for approx. 60 minutes at 170 degrees hot air
  2. For the shortcrust pastry, quickly knead the flour with all the ingredients on the work surface to form a smooth dough, wrap in foil and refrigerate for about 30 minutes.
  3. Mix all ingredients for the curd mixture with the mixer, finally fold in the whipped cream and the egg whites.
  4. For the poppy seed mixture, bring the water with the sugar and vanilla sugar to the boil, stir in the poppy seeds, remove from the stove, stir in the cream, cinnamon and rum and let it swell briefly.
  5. Then mix in the pear pieces.
  6. Tip for the poppy seeds:
  7. Either squeeze the poppy seeds fresh in the poppy seed mill or, if you buy the grated poppy seeds in the pack, briefly roast them in a coated pan for 3-5 minutes over medium heat while stirring, then in the moulinette (or similar) again chop very finely. This gives the poppy a very good aroma!
  8. Preheat the oven.
  9. Roll out two thirds of the dough and place on the bottom of the mold, shape the rest of the dough into a roll and press it into the mold to a 4 cm high, thin edge.
  10. Prick the bottom with the fork several times. Pour in the poppy seed mixture and smooth it out.
  11. Spread the curd mixture on top and smooth it out as well. Bake the cake until golden.
  12. After the baking time, leave the oven in the switched off oven for a little longer, then place the dish on a wire rack and let it cool down.
  13. Dust with powdered sugar as desired.
