Ingredients

The following ingredients have 10 Servings
  • 2 cups flour
  • 2 tablespoons poppy seeds
  • 1 teaspoon baking powder
  • ½  teaspoon baking soda
  • ¼ teaspoon salt
  • 1 cup sugar
  • 2 large eggs
  • ⅔ cup vegetable oil
  • ⅓ cup full fat sour cream (or Greek yogurt)
  • ½ cup whole or 2% milk
  • 2 tablespoons lemon juice
  • 2 tablespoons lemon zest
  • 1 cup powdered sugar
  • 2 tablespoons lemon juice

Instruction

  • Preheat to 350 degrees.  Grease a 9×5 inch loaf pan well. 
  • Whisk together the flour, poppy seeds, baking powder, baking soda, and salt in a large bowl. In a separate medium bowl whisk together the sugar, eggs, vegetable oil, sour cream, milk, lemon juice, and lemon zest. Add the liquid ingredients to the dry ingredients and stir just until combined.  
  • Bake 50-55 minutes or until a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean with just a few moist crumbs. Let the loaf cool for 10-15 minutes before inverting the loaf on to a cooling rack.  
  • In a bowl whisk together the powdered sugar and lemon juice. You can drizzle this over the loaf when it is warm to create a glaze or when it is fully cooled for more of an icing finish.
