1/2 cup poppy seeds
1 cup water
8 eggs,
2 cups all-purpose flour

In a small bowl, soak poppy seeds in water 1 hour. Place egg whites in a large bowl; let stand at room temperature 30 minutes.

Meanwhile, preheat oven to 325u00b0. Sift flour, sugar, baking powder, salt and baking soda together twice; place in another large bowl. In a small bowl, whisk egg yolks, oil, vanilla and poppy seed mixture. Add to flour mixture; beat until well blended.
