Almond and poppy seed cake

Growing up in communist Poland, Bartlomiej Járzyna didn't have any choice of ingredients when he helped his dad in the family pastry shop. The wide range of flavours available today made him vow to not ever compromise when spoiling his fans in Poland with great taste. In this cake he pairs poppy seeds with almond and hazelnut flavours and white chocolate. Enjoy!
