Ingredients
14 servings
- •1 cup buttermilk
- •¼ cup poppy seeds, or to taste
- •4 large eggs, at room temperature
- •2 ½ cups bleached all-purpose flour
- •2 teaspoons baking powder
- •1 teaspoon baking soda
- •¼ teaspoon salt
- •1 ½ cups white sugar
- •1 cup unsalted butter, at room temperature
- •1 teaspoon vanilla extract
Instructions
- Combine buttermilk and poppy seeds in a small bowl. Soak for 10 to 30 minutes.
- Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C). Thoroughly grease a fluted tube pan (such as Bundt®).
- Separate egg yolks and whites into 2 separate bowls (use a glass, metal, or ceramic bowl for the whites). Sift flour, baking powder, baking soda, and salt together in a third bowl.
- Combine sugar and butter in a large mixing bowl; beat with an electric mixer until creamy. Add egg yolks; mix until thoroughly combined. Beat in the buttermilk-poppy seed mixture and vanilla extract. Add 1/2 of the dry ingredients and beat thoroughly; repeat with remaining dry ingredients.
- Beat egg whites on high speed until there is no clear liquid left, 3 to 5 minutes. Fold into the batter.
- Bake in the preheated oven until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean, about 1 hour. Cool on a wire rack for 15 minutes. Run a table knife around the edges to loosen. Invert carefully onto a serving plate or cooling rack. Let cool completely.
