Servings: 12

Ingredients

  • FOR THE BREAD:
  • 1 1/2 cups all-purpose flour
  • 3 Tbsp. poppy seeds
  • 2 tsp. baking powder
  • Freshly grated zest of 2 lemons divided
  • 1 6 oz. or 8 oz. cup of vanilla yogurt
  • 3/4 cup sugar
  • 3 large eggs
  • 1/4 cup canola oil
  • 1/3 cup fresh lemon juice
  • FOR THE ICING
  • 1/4 cup fresh lemon juice
  • 1 cup powdered sugar
  • 2 Tbsp. butter; melted

Instructions

  • Preheat oven to 350 degrees. Lightly grease an 8 x 4 loaf pan.
  • Whisk together flour, poppy seeds, baking powder, and half of lemon zest in a small bowl. Set aside.
  • In a large bowl mix together the yogurt, sugar, eggs, oil, and lemon juice. Whisk until combined. Gently fold flour mixture into yogurt mixture until just combined.
  • Pour batter into pan and bake for 40-45 minutes or until toothpick inserted in the center of the loaf comes out clean. Allow to cool in the pan for 20 minutes and then invert onto cooling rack.
  • While the bread is baking, melt the butter in a microwavable dish and then whisk in the powdered sugar and lemon juice. The icing should be thick enough to spread on the bread once cooled. Be sure the bread is cooled completely. Add lemon zest on top of the icing. Slice and enjoy!
