I think that Americans adapted the carroway seed cake to a poppyseed cake also at some point with the various influx of English into America and having to use the ingredients that was readily available to them.

I have to try that caraway seed cake. If I have a hobby I suppose you'd say it is trying unusual and/or very complicated recipes.

I do love poppy seed cake. I use the whole bottle of poppy seeds. I can buy them in any store spice section in a regular sized bottle. I soak the whole bottle for the recipe. But for five whole years I avoided even the occasional poppy seed muffin because I worked at a big prison and the staff would have impromptu drug tests. And true or not I don't know but I heard the rumor that if you eat poppy seeds you will test positive for like heroin or cocaine or something bad. I have enough problems without trying to explain that.
