Poppy cake

Simple but tasty cake for every day. In western Ukraine, poppy seeds are very common - they are used in cakes, cheesecakes and desserts. I had very little to do with this ingredient and decided to fix it. The cake is quite simple - sponge cake and mascarpone-based cream, but it turns out delicious and beautiful.
