Dough: Make a smooth shortcrust pastry from fat, sugar, vanilla sugar, flour, and egg yolk. Refrigerate the dough for about 30 minutes, then roll out into a thin (about 1/4 cm) sheet of dough. Cut the sheet of dough in half. Filling: Mix all ingredients together, spread the mixture on half of the sheet of dough. Pour the other half of the dough on top and press down lightly. Place the cake on a baking sheet lined with baking paper (with a baking frame around it if necessary) and bake in a preheated oven at about 175 degrees Celsius for about 25 minutes. Then let the pastry cool, cover with powdered sugar glaze, and sprinkle with poppy seeds. Tip for those in a hurry: You can also mix ready-made poppy seed mixture with the sultatins and marzipan.
