Step-by-step cooking
Step 1:
How to make dough for cakes on a cake? Prepare the necessary ingredients for this. I'm going to make a poppy seed biscuit. If you want to get a vanilla sponge cake, then you don't need to add poppy seeds. And to get a chocolate sponge cake, add another 2-3 tablespoons of cocoa.
Step 2:
First of all, pour boiling water over the poppy and leave to stand for 15 minutes. Then throw it on a fine strainer and rinse with cold water. Wait for all the water to drain from the poppy.
Step 3:
Separately combine the butter with the milk and put it on the fire. Bring to a boil so that the butter melts completely.
Step 4:
Combine eggs with sugar in a whipping bowl. Turn the mixer on the highest power and beat the eggs with sugar into a fluffy, thick mass. The whipping bowl should be dry and fat-free, otherwise the eggs will not be whipped.
Step 5:
Add to the beaten eggs, alternately adding sifted flour with soda and vanilla and hot milk with butter. Try to stir manually with a whisk gently, from the bottom up, so that the mass remains lush and airy. You may have more or less flour, take this into account, focus on the consistency of the dough. It should not be too thick, it will look like moderately liquid sour cream.
Step 6:
Mix the poppy seeds into the finished dough. It will be quickly distributed throughout the test. The dough should remain airy. It is thanks to well-beaten eggs with sugar that the dough has such a volume, and the finished product will be very tender and porous.
Step 7:
Cover the bottom of the split baking dish with parchment and put the sides on it. Pour the dough into a mold (20 cm) and put it in the oven, preheated to 180 degrees, for 40-50 minutes. Be guided by your oven.
Step 8:
Remove the finished biscuit from the mold and cool it. Then wrap it in a film and put it in the refrigerator for a few hours so that it rests. Such a biscuit will be easier to cut and crumble less. It can be cut into 3-4 cakes.
Step 9:
That's how beautiful a poppy sponge cake will look in a cake!
When the top layer of baking is slightly browned, check it for readiness: pierce it with a wooden skewer in several places, if the skewer comes out dry, then the form (or baking sheet) can be taken out of the oven.
Be sure to wash the eggs before use, as even the seemingly clean shell may contain harmful bacteria. It is best to use food detergents and a brush.
Keep in mind that everyone's ovens are different. The temperature and cooking time may differ from those specified in the recipe. To make any baked dish successful, use useful information

I like to layer such cakes with an easy-to-prepare cream, which I always do by eye: about 450-500g of high-quality cream, 5 tablespoons of powdered sugar and 1.5 packs of cottage cheese (somewhere 250-300g). Cream is whipped with powdered sugar and mixed (already without a mixer) with soft cottage cheese. Cottage cheese should be homogeneous, soft but not liquid. The proportions are approximate, you can increase the amount of cottage cheese, and reduce the cream or vice versa. The same with powdered sugar: add in two or three doses and adjust the sweetness for yourself.
