Created by: Howcan Team
Ingredients
- 2 cups all-purpose flour
- 1 1/2 teaspoons baking powder
- 1/2 teaspoon baking soda
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
- 1 tablespoon poppy seeds
- 1/2 cup unsalted butter, softened
- 1 cup granulated sugar
- 2 large eggs
- 1/2 cup sour cream
- 1/4 cup fresh lemon juice
- 1 tablespoon lemon zest
- 1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract
- For the lemon glaze:
- 1 cup powdered sugar
- 2-3 tablespoons fresh lemon juice
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease and flour a 9x5 inch loaf pan.
- In a medium bowl, whisk together 2 cups of flour, 1 1/2 teaspoons of baking powder, 1/2 teaspoon of baking soda, and 1/2 teaspoon of salt. Stir in the poppy seeds.
- In a large bowl, cream together 1/2 cup of softened butter and 1 cup of granulated sugar until light and fluffy. Beat in the eggs, one at a time, then stir in 1/2 cup of sour cream, 1/4 cup of fresh lemon juice, 1 tablespoon of lemon zest, and 1/2 teaspoon of vanilla extract. Gradually add the flour mixture, mixing until just incorporated.
- Pour the batter into the prepared loaf pan and smooth the top with a spatula. Bake for 45-50 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.
- While the bread is baking, prepare the lemon glaze by whisking together 1 cup of powdered sugar and 2-3 tablespoons of fresh lemon juice until smooth. Add more lemon juice if a thinner glaze is desired.
- Once the bread is done, remove it from the oven and allow it to cool in the pan for 10 minutes. Then transfer the bread to a wire rack placed over a baking sheet. Drizzle the lemon glaze over the warm bread, allowing it to set before slicing and serving.
- Slice and enjoy the delicious lemon poppy seed bread with a tangy lemon glaze!
