- 45ml Poppy Seeds

- 70g Decent lemon curd
- 6 eggs, separated

How to maek CAEK
Chose CD (I went with Appetite for destruction, but anything you like will do)
Put CD into CD player
Start to play CD
Preheat oven to 180C
Butter and lightly flour two 23cm spring-form CAEK tins
Cream together the butter and sugar until light and fluffy
Add the poppy seeds, lemon rind, lemon curd and egg yolks and beat well
Add milk and mix in
Fold in the flour until combined
Whisk the egg whites until they form soft peaks (use an electric hand-held jobbie, or at least one like in my pic - doing it with a normal hand-whisk takes ages)
Fold egg whites into CAEK mixture until combined
Divide mixture between the two tins and bake for about 45 mins (should be dark golden brown when done, and a skewer into the middle should come out clean)
CD ends, chose new CD.
Leave CAEKs to cool in tins for 5 mins, then remove and leave to cool completely on a wire rack
Spread the lemon curd onto the CAEK, and spoon the whipped cream on top of that
Gently push second CAEK on top, dust with Icing sugar (if you can be bothered)
EAT CAEK
