Rhubarb and Poppy Seed Sour Cream Cake

If you don’t know how else to cook rhubarb, my recipe is for you. I once made a cake with poppy seeds. I really liked it. This time I decided to combine poppy and rhubarb and see what comes out of it. And the result was a very tasty, moderately sweet pastry with pieces of sour rhubarb. The areas around the rhubarb may be slightly damp — this is normal. One important point: it is better to grind the poppy seeds in a coffee grinder before adding them to the dough. This way it will better reveal its taste and will not crunch on your teeth. It is better to take fresher poppy seeds, since the ones that sit for a long time begin to taste bitter over time.
