Seedcake

It's always bewildered me that banana bread is considered "bread" while poppy cake is considered "cake" when they're both highly-sweetened baked loaves...Anyway, this seed cake tastes wonderful even with half the sugar I mention in this recipe, so feel free to make it as sweet -- or not sweet -- as you like. Be careful when folding the wet ingredients into the dry -- the vinegar and baking soda will react to make bubbles and you don't want to pop those.
