Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 1/2 cups all-purpose flour
  • 1 teaspoon baking powder
  • 1/2 teaspoon baking soda
  • 1/4 teaspoon salt
  • 1/4 cup poppy seeds
  • 1/2 cup unsalted butter, softened
  • 1 cup granulated sugar
  • 2 large eggs
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 1 tablespoon fresh lemon zest
  • 1/2 cup sour cream
  • 1/4 cup fresh lemon juice
  • 1 cup powdered sugar (for glaze)
  • 2 tablespoons fresh lemon juice (for glaze)

Instructions

  1. Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and grease a loaf pan to ensure easy removal once baked.
  2. Mix the dry ingredients: In a bowl, combine the all-purpose flour, baking powder, baking soda, salt, and poppy seeds.
  3. Cream the butter and sugar: In a separate bowl, cream the softened butter and granulated sugar until fluffy, then add the eggs, vanilla extract, and lemon zest.
  4. Combine wet and dry ingredients: Alternate adding the dry mixture with sour cream and fresh lemon juice until well blended.
  5. Transfer the finished batter into your prepared loaf pan, smoothing the top with a spatula.
  6. Bake for 45-50 minutes or until a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean.
  7. Prepare the glaze: While the cake cools, whisk together the powdered sugar and lemon juice until smooth.
  8. Finish by drizzling the glaze over the cooled cake, slice, and serve.

Notes

Use fresh lemons for the best flavor and ensure the cake cools completely before glazing.
