2 c. sugar
4 eggs
3 c. sifted flour
1 tsp. salt
1 can poppy seeds
1-1/2 c. oil
1 tsp. vanilla
1-1/2 tsp. baking soda
1 lg. can evaporated milk
1 c. chopped nuts

You may wish to put the poppy seeds in a little water for a few hours before making the cake, but it is not necessary. Mix sugar and oil in a large bowl. Add eggs and beat for 1 minute. Combine dry ingredients and add to the egg mixture alternately with milk. Add poppy seeds and nuts; mix well. Bake in an ungreased tube pan for 1 hour and 15 minutes at 350 degrees. Let cool for 15 to 20 minutes before removing from pan.

A nice frosting for this cake may be made with a can of crushed pineapple, (#2 can). Thicken with a little flour, and about 2 or 3 rounded tablespoons; cooking on stove until slightly thickened. Pour over cake.
