Poppy-Seed Cake

In this earthy dessert, ground poppy seeds combine with lots of airy beaten egg whites to create a texture that's both rich and delicate. (As a result, a little goes a long way.) A sunny touch of lemon adds zing. Be sure to get your poppy seeds from a good source, since they need to be fresh and can go rancid very quickly.
