Spreewälder Mohnpielen

Ingredients:

1/3 lb raisins
2 tablespoons of orange liqueur
14 oz grounded poppy seed
7 oz sugar
4 cups milk
1 lb dowdied white bread
1 3/4 oz diced almonds

Preparation:

Soak the raisins in the orange liqueur. Boil the poppy seed, raisins and 3 1/2 oz of sugar in 2 cups of milk. Immediately after the mass boiled up, remove pot from the stove.

Cut bread into pieces and put it into a bowl, dusting it with sugar. Heat the remaining milk and pour it over the bread. Blend almonds with the poppy seed mass. Apply alternating layers of the poppy seed mass and the bread into the form. Make sure the layers are even, to ensure a regular stripped pattern. Cover it and place the cake overnight in the fridge.

This dessert can be served with fruit sauce.

Guten Appetit!
