POPPYSEED BABKA 
1 cup wheat flour
almost full cup of potato starch
1 cup (2 sticks) butter, softened
1 cup sugar
4 eggs
1 cup poppyseed
1 1/2 tbsp. baking powder
1/3 cup milk
almond extract or oil

Preheat oven to 300°F.

Start by mixing the butter (it can't be right out of the fridge since it won't break, let it get warm for 3-4 hours) until it has a creamy consistency. Add eggs, sugar, potato starch and wheat flour combined with baking powder. Pour milk and add poppyseed as well as some almond flavoring. Put the mass into a form, previously greased and dredged with breadcrumbs.

Note: As in making any bread, add flour if the dough is sticky, or liquid if the dough is dry until you have the right consistency.

Bake at 300°F for 50 minutes.
