Makovec with stevia is a simple Slovak poppy seed sheet cake made with ground poppy seeds and stevia sweetener instead of sugar. Mix butter, eggs, and sweetener, then gradually add flour mixed with baking powder, poppy seeds, and milk. Spread the batter in a greased baking pan dusted with coarse wheat flour and bake at 180°C (350°F). The method is easy enough for a beginner, and the cake goes well with coffee or tea.

Ground poppy seeds 300 g
All-purpose flour 500 g
Baking powder 1
Stevia sweetener (granulated blend that replaces sugar 1:1) 350 g

Instructions

Tip: tap a step to mark it as done.

Mix the sweetener, butter, and whole eggs until smooth. Gradually add the flour mixed with the baking powder, the poppy seeds, and the milk.
Grease a baking pan and dust it with coarse wheat flour. Preheat the oven to 180°C (350°F).
Stir the batter once more, spread it in the prepared pan, and bake for about 40 minutes, until a skewer inserted into the center comes out dry.

Tip: Pure powdered stevia is many times sweeter than sugar and would make the cake bitter if used in this quantity. You can replace the sweetener with the same amount of granulated sugar.
