A Christmas treat — make sweeter or more savory by adding fruit, nuts, flavored oils or powders.

Ingredients

12 Tablespoons butter
1 cup granulated sugar
3 large eggs
2 cups flour
1/4 teaspoon baking powder
1-1/2 Tablespoons caraway, poppy or anise seeds, plus 1/4 teaspoon for garnish
8-inch cake pan

Directions

Preheat your oven to 350 degrees F.
Line an 8-inch round cake pan with parchment paper; or if you are making a sweet seed cake, butter and sugar the inside of the pan.
Cream together the sugar and butter until well blended.
Add the eggs one at a time until the mixture is light and fluffy.
Sift the flour, seeds and baking powder together. Add these dry ingredients to the butter, eggs and sugar mixture in three parts, beating continually as you do. Add any other flavors or optional ingredients at this time.
Pour the batter into the cake pan, and garnish the top with more seeds.
Bake for 45-60 minutes. Seed cake is done when the sides pull away from the pan and a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.
