Amish Onion Cake

This is a rich, moist bread with an onion-poppy seed topping. It is wonderful with soup or salad and goes well with any meat. Prep time is approximate. Cook time only includes baking time. I got this recipe from one of my amish cookbooks.

Steps

In a large skillet , cook onions in 1 / 2 cup butter over low heat for 10 minutes.
Stir in the poppy seeds , salt , paprika and pepper.
Cook until golden brown , stirring occasionally.
Remove from the heat.
Set aside.
In a bowl , combine the flour , cornstarch , baking powder and sugars.
Cut in 1-1 / 4 cups butter until mixture resembles coarse crumbs.
Melt the remaining butter.
In a bowl , whisk the eggs , milk , sour cream and melted butter.
Make a well in dry ingredients.
Stir in egg mixture just until moistened.
Spread into a greased 10-inch springform pan.
Spoon onion mixture over the dough.
Place pan on a baking sheet.
Bake at 350 degrees for 35-40 minutes or until a toothpick inserted near the center comes out clean.
Serve warm.
