ALMOND POPPY SEED KUCHEN
A German friend of mine gave me this recipe many years ago. Don't let the ingredients fool you. This is absolutely delicious! And best when it is warm. Pop it into the microwave for a minute or so. You won't be sorry. I use 2 8x 8 pans to make this, and I freeze one for later.
