Instructions

For The Loaf

  • Preheat over to 350℉
  • Spray your loaf pan ( 9 x 5 or 8½ x 4½) with cooking spray and line it with parchment paper. This will help you get the loaf out of the pan once cooled slightly.
  • In a bowl, whisk together flour, baking powder, baking soda and salt. Set aside.
  • In another bowl, combine butter and sugar. For best results, use an electric mixer and blend until butter and sugar becomes fluffy and pale in color. ~ 3 minuets.
  • Slowly add one egg at a time making sure to fully mix before adding the next.
  • Add vanilla, lemon juice, lemon zest and yogurt. Mix until combined. 

  • On a low speed, slowly combine the dry ingredients into the wet.

  • Fold in the poppy seeds with a wooden spoon or spatula. Avoid over mixing.

  • Pour mixture into prepared loaf pan. Cook for 55-60 minuets or until top is golden brown and a toothpick comes out clean.
  • Remove from over and let cool for about 10 minuets in pan on wire rack. 

  • Using the parchment paper, lift the loaf out of the pan and set aside on the wire rack to cool completely.

For The Glaze

  • In a bowl, whisk together the powdered sugar, vanilla and yogurt.
  • Add to fridge while the loaf is cooling down.
  • Pour glaze over the loaf once it has cooled completely. 

  • Add any garnish if desired, cut and enjoy!
