Ingredients
  • 1¾ cups all-purpose flour
  • 2 tsp. baking powder
  • ¼ tsp. taking soda
  • ½ tsp. salt
  • 2 tbsp. poppyseeds
  • 1 cup granulated sugar
  • 2 tbsp. lemon zest
  • ½ cup butter, softened
  • 3 eggs
  • ⅔ cup plain Greek yogurt
  • 1 tsp. lemon extract
  • ½ tsp. vanilla extract
  • 4 tbsp. milk
  • 5 tbsp. lemon juice, divided
  • 1 cup powdered sugar
Instructions
  1. Preheat oven to 350 degrees Fahrenheit. Spray a loaf pan with nonstick cooking spray and line with parchment paper for easy removal.
  2. In a medium bowl, whisk together flour, baking powder, baking soda, salt, and poppyseeds.
  3. Using the bowl of a stand mixer or a large bowl and a hand mixer, mix together sugar and lemon zest. This helps the lemon zest release its oils for even more lemon flavor! Add butter and cream together.
  4. Add eggs, one at a time, beating well after each addition.
  5. Add yogurt, lemon extract, vanilla extract, milk, and 2 tbsp. lemon juice. Mix until combined.
  6. Add dry ingredients to wet ingredients and mix until just combined.
  7. Pour batter into the prepared pan.
  8. Bake for 50-55 minutes until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.
  9. Remove bread from pan and transfer to a wire rack to cool completely.
  10. Once cooled, make the glaze. Whisk together 2 tbsp. lemon juice with powdered sugar. If you would like the glaze to be a thinner consistency, you can add the remaining tablespoon of lemon juice.
  11. Drizzle the glaze over the bread. Enjoy!
