Heidi Riegler, the founder and a baker of Vienna Cookie Company in Baldwin, N.Y., has just added a new Austrian specialty to her inventory. It’s a classic poppy seed cake, or mohntorte, a confection that was her favorite when she was growing up in Vienna. The cake is deliciously dense with poppy seeds and comes blanketed with marzipan. When the weather cools, she plans to glaze it with chocolate. The cake comes in four-, six- and eight-inch sizes.
Austrian Poppy Cake (Mohntorte), $15, $25 and $40, viennacookiecompany.com.
