A moist and tangy lemon poppy seed bread with a sweet glaze.

Ingredients

Scale

For the Crust:

  • 1 1/2 cups all-purpose flour
  • 1/2 teaspoon baking soda
  • 1/2 teaspoon baking powder
  • 1/4 teaspoon salt
  • 1/2 cup unsalted butter, softened
  • 1 cup granulated sugar
  • 2 large eggs
  • 1 tablespoon lemon zest
  • 2 tablespoons fresh lemon juice
  • 1/2 cup buttermilk
  • 1 tablespoon poppy seeds
  • 1 cup powdered sugar
  • 2 tablespoons fresh lemon juice

Instructions

1. Prepare the Crust:

  1. Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease and flour a 9×5-inch loaf pan.
  2. In a bowl, whisk together flour, baking soda, baking powder, and salt.
  3. In a separate bowl, cream butter and sugar until light and fluffy. Beat in eggs one at a time, then stir in lemon zest and juice.
  4. Alternately add the flour mixture and buttermilk to the butter mixture, beginning and ending with flour. Fold in poppy seeds.
  5. Pour batter into the prepared loaf pan. Bake for 45-50 minutes or until a toothpick inserted comes out clean.
  6. Cool in pan for 10 minutes, then transfer to a wire rack. Mix powdered sugar and lemon juice to make the glaze, then drizzle over the warm bread.
