Makowiec 500g - Polish Poppy Seed Cake

Makowiec zawijany or strucla makowa, is a traditional Polish poppy seed cake. This authentic pastry roll is made with a sweet ground poppy seed filling. Enjoy it on its own, or decorate it with an additional layer of icing sugar glaze and a handful of chopped nuts for a fully authentic experience.

Makowiec rolls are a popular festive treat in Poland, traditionally served as a dessert at Christmas and also used to celebrate Easter.

How it is made

The makowiec recipe involves rolling out a dough, which is then generously layered with a sweet blend of freshly ground poppy seeds and a mixture of dried and candied fruits. The filled pastry is tightly rolled and brushed with egg yolk for its characteristic marbled crust.

Each cake is crafted at a multi-award-winning patisserie following a family recipe, with a dedicated team of master confectioners expertly preparing each poppy seed roll by hand.

We ship the Makowiec in special protective packaging to ensure that it arrives ready for serving, looking and tasting its best.
