Or daughter-in-law delight cake! We just returned from a few days visiting my husband's family in eastern Germany. It was lovely to visit friends and family, celebrate a few birthdays and stuff ourselves with some delicious German cooking. According to my sweet-loving taste buds the best time of day for such food indulgence is the German "coffee time". This occurs around 3:30 when you take a respite with usually a cake of some sort and coffee. My mother-in-law baked me and my sister-in-law's absolutely favorite cake during our visit (hence the name). This delicious creation is layers of poppy seed cake and a vanilla pudding cream, topped with candied almonds.
If you're around the gray-haired set, you’ll likely find coffee time occurring every day, a sweet afternoon treat in place of dessert after dinner. My family tends to partake in coffee time only on Sunday. Given that shopping is out of the question on Sundays, it's actually a wonderful time to get together with friends for good conversation and a little caloric indulgence!

I love poppyseed too. Delicious!!
The only time I've had poppyseed cake was at a hotel in Prague two summers ago. I thought it was chocolate until I took the first bite - it was quite a shock to my taste buds!
