OMG ! that was SO good! If I never have another dessert, I will die happy !
Next time I will try your recipe for the poppy seed layer. This layer I made was probably too thick... (Like too much of a good thing?) I was trying to get something like the one I had in the local (excellent) German Bakery. Theirs was so good it had me off on the Quest for "something that had no name." And yours was heads and shoulders above theirs.
** I thank you !**

I figured it was probably standard size 8 inch pan. But since there are only 2 of us I did 2/3 of a
recipe (except for topping, which I cut by half) and used a 7 inch pan.

Ausgezeichnet! Yay!
I'm so glad you made the Mohnkuchen. That is a really old-fashioned German Grossmutter recipe from the 19th C. It's killer, eh?

It's very forgiving. I usually use 8.
Those old recipes assumed a lot of knowledge on the part of the cook.

No not at all if that's the flavor you prefer...
just know that the class lemon-vanilla combo are the classic in Austro-German baking, sometimes combined with cinnamon for the holy trinity as in that tour de force "Zimtsterne."

Well then When I try it with Your filling recipe I will use the lemon zest and try the
orange sub at a later time. That way I will have an excuse to make it at least 2 more times!

RICHARD: Was that 1 Tablespoon or 1 teaspoon of Baking Powder in the dough?
Also do you grind the poppy seeds before using them?

Right, 1 teaspoon. And no grind on the seeds is required.
