  1. I made this for dessert for our 4th meal on Rosh Hashana and it was heavenly! I didn't make the raspberry sauce, instead I brushed some orange marmalade over the top. Also, I probably doubled the amount of poppy seeds, I've always been a little to generous with those babies. Thanks, this was a hit!
