Walnut and poppy seed beigli is a cake that has always fascinated me. I admit that I always chose the poppy seed version at first. The bittersweet taste enchanted me for years.

Hungarian Walnut Roll/Poppy Seed Roll/Beigli
Gradually I started to appreciate the walnut version probably since I discovered the beneficial properties of walnuts. Then followed a few years in which the walnut version was always on my plate.
The poppy version stayed in the shadows until I decided to make it at home. And I'm glad I did because it's just as delicious as the walnut. The poppy cake fed my soul again.
I used a recipe translated from a Hungarian website so it comes closest to the traditional Hungarian nut and poppy seed roll; that's what I was hoping for. The cake turned out beautifully and everyone in the family is happy with it. It's just delicious and soft!
