Welcome again. As you know I'm writing culinary articles and the task of these texts is to give you some interesting and helpful information about cooking and about different kinds of meal. I'm really doing my best to provide you the best information about work in the kitchen. In this article I'm going to provide you some information about traditional Polish cake recipes (and cakes of course). Traditional Polish cakes are very big, colorful and very tasty.

Let's start with the poppy-seed cake. This kind of cake is god for every occasion in Poland. It's very cheap, tasty and easy to prepare. Traditional poppy-seed cake is made of poppy-seed, flour, butter, yeast, sugar, eggs, salt, powdered sugar. There are many poppy-seed cake recipes. You can add apple to them or other additions such as meringue, nuts etc. I really recommend this very tasty cake for every occasion. It's perfect for Easter, Christmas, birthday or you can prepare it without any occasion. I'm sure that your family will be very happy about that.

The next kind of traditional Polish cake is dame which is made of sand cake (it was described in my previous article, I was also describing dame in my previous articles). It's very cheap and tasty kind of cake. You can eat it and you don't have to worry about being overweight because of eating it. Typical ingredients for it are: sand cake, sugar and eventually some additions, for example chocolate custard. Of course there are many recipes for this cake, so everybody can find something that fits his/her requirements.

The last kind of a cake that I'm going to describe is ginger cake. There are many ginger cake recipes in Poland. It can be prepared in a form of cake and in form of biscuits. The best ingredients for typical Polish ginger cake are honey, sugar, butter, flour, eggs, soda, milk, ginger cake relish, salt and some fat to form. These ingredients are very cheap, so the cake is very cheap too. I want to add that it's very tasty. It's perfect for Christmas. In many households it's one of traditional 12 meals on Christmas Eve table. I recommend this cake. There are lots of ginger cake recipes so this kind of cake is very varied.

Cover with another sheet of pastry and fold edges over to seal. Flute with a fork or use fingers to press a design on the edges. Cut small slits in the top pastry to allow steam to escape.
