Instructions

🎙️ Cook with voice coach

Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease and flour a 9x5 inch loaf pan.
In a large bowl, whisk together all Dry Ingredients.
In a separate bowl, cream together the softened Butter and Granulated Sugar until light and fluffy.
Beat in the Eggs one at a time, then stir in the Milk, Lemon Juice, and Lemon Extract.
Gradually add the Dry Ingredients to the Wet Ingredients, mixing until just combined. Do not overmix.
Stir in the Poppy Seeds.
Pour batter into the prepared loaf pan and bake for 50-60 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.
Let cool in the pan for 10 minutes before transferring to a wire rack to cool completely.
To make the Lemon Glaze, whisk together the Powdered Sugar and Lemon Juice until smooth. Add more lemon juice if needed to reach desired consistency.
Drizzle the Lemon Glaze over the cooled cake.
