Birthday cake – Poppy and orange layer cake {sans gluten}
30… Ça pourrait être le nombre d’étage de ce birthday cake, le temps de cuisson, ou encore le temps que j’ai mis à écrire cet article, But no, c’est bel est bien l’âge que je fête aujourd’hui. Vous l’aurez compris, I have 30 ans, j’assume à moitié et c’est mon anniversaire ! Passer la trentaine est un cap que dis-je-c’est un cap, c’est une péninsule, et jusqu’à maintenant je m’étais psychologiquement arrêtée à 28 ans lorsqu’on me demandait mon âge (et peux-être vais-je encore continuer ?!), story of gaining a few years and staying in your twenties. Because yes, now I realize that I am a big girl (finished the carelessness of 20 ans !), I am no longer a student, I have Mini-Mademoiselle, 2 chats, a big… in short, we digress ! Finally, 30 years is a good age… but hey one five big birthday cake to comfort me and help me get through it won't hurt me !!!
If you knew how long I've been wanting to try a poppyseed cake recipe, since Methuselah actually … Anyway, it’s finally done ! And then I also asked Monsieur to have a layer cake mold for Christmas, and I hadn't used it yet (boo not good !!!). Neither one, nor two, so I jumped at the chance to put together my desires and prepare this poppy seed and orange layer cake. We know the classic combination of poppy and lemon well, but personally I also love orange and I wanted to offer you something that stands out a little (but not too much) from the ordinary !
For information, I used a round mold 17 cm in diameter.
Birthday cake – Poppy and orange layer cake {sans gluten}

Coupez le gâteau en trois disques égaux puis commencez en étalant de la crème entre chaque couche. Terminez en glaçant l’extérieur du gâteau avec la crème restante à l’aide d’une spatule.

Laurence
18.4.14He is SUPERB ! Divine I'm sure ( me too before I made my poppy seed cake, I dreamed of him without daring to tackle it ! ) with orange and corn flour : YUM, quoi !
I smiled reading your paragraph about thirty : I also stopped at 28 because once Minipouce was born, Of course I became a mother and my life changed, but I thought the fait accompli ( and well accomplished ! ) and stop time like this 😉 But no … NOW, I take it very well and am proud to celebrate my 34 as this year ! As long as it lasts and white hair doesn't happen too quickly ! LOL.
Happy belated birthday then … because yes, I imagine the cake is devoured and the birthday is over !
Kisses **
Emilie
19.4.14Yes it’s true that this cake was good but not vegan (no problem, there are plenty more to come !) !
It's true that time doesn't stop, but I pass this milestone serenely because I am a woman and a fulfilled mother… yes white hair and wrinkles too 😉
thank you so much my beautiful (I posted on my birthday !).
Kisses

21.4.14How I understand you, I too am celebrating my 30 years this year, in July, and I'm not looking forward to it at all ! Pendant la vingtaine on se dit qu’à 30 ans on se sentira sérieux et tout et tout mais moi c’est pas du tout mon cas 😉 En tout cas t’as une jolie façon de passer ce cap avec un beau gâteau, j’adore les associations agrumes-pavot.
Emilie
22.4.14Lol !!! Merci beaucoup Valérie pour ton ptit mot 😉 Et bon courage pour Juillet !!!
Amélie-Marie

27.4.14This cake is beautiful for your birthday. 30 ans, and yes, an age group that rhymes with construction, consolidation too… maturity… ? Finally, 30 years also rhymes with games, with joy, with creativity and LOVE.
I kiss you and wish you very, very good things for the future.. See you soon on your blog which I love 😉
Heu… However, I'm a bit ashamed, I'm late on a lot of posts. !!!
Emilie

11.6.16Bonjour,
I tried your recipe today for 30 years of a friend. I regularly follow your recipes and enjoy them, First of all, to congratulate you for your creativity and inventiveness ! I love your recipes and the way you present them. !
Also, if I allow myself to react today it is by surprise.
I followed your recipe to the letter and the gram and I am surprised to see my cake which did not rise by a millimeter. What baking powder do you use ? Personally, I use Dr's baking powder. Oetker and I've never had a problem with it until now. A second surprise : the icing. THE 30 milk cl are they correct ? I put it on at first but, seeing that they did not adhere to the butter-icing sugar-vanilla mass I removed almost all. And the final icing really doesn't look good (bon, This is the first time I've made one with butter so maybe I lack experience). Please give me your additional advice on this recipe as I would love to make it again if possible. !
Good luck and thank you for your blog ! 🙂
Emilie
21.6.16Thank you very much Myriam for this message 😉
I don't really know what to say to all this because the proportions are just right for this recipe.. Maybe the butter and sugar mixture was too cold, I do not see anything else, Sorry !
