Poppy Seed Cake


Price I paid
I was served this "poppy seed crumble cake" while on a cruise on the Queen Mary 2 and the journey price included all food.

Colour
If I had not known any better I probably would have thought that this was a chocolate cake.

Taste
In my opinion, this was not a cake and I was thoroughly disappointed.  It was a thick dry crumbly mess with a layer of very dry, solid poppy seeds.  It could really have done with a layer of jam or a more spongy base.  It reminded me of the crust of a seeded bread without the nice spongy bit underneath.

Overall Reaction
I like the idea of putting poppy seeds in a cake, but this one just wasn't for me!
1/10
