These Poppy Seed Cake Squares are a delightful twist on a classic tea-time dessert. The poppy seeds give the cake a nutty crunch and striking speckled appearance, while the soft crumb keeps it moist and fluffy. A thin layer of chocolate glaze on top adds just the right amount of sweetness and richness. The secret? Soaking the poppy seeds beforehand, which enhances their flavor and ensures a tender bite.
