LEMON POPPY SEED BREAD

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 350°F (177°C). Spray a 9×5 inch loaf pan with nonstick spray.
• Whisk the flour, poppy seeds, baking soda, baking powder, and salt together in a large bowl. In a medium bowl, whisk the egg and granulated sugar together until combined. Whisk in the oil, sour cream, milk, lemon juice, and lemon zest. Pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients, then whisk to completely combine. Avoid over-mixing; a few small lumps are OK.
• Pour/spread the batter evenly into prepared loaf pan. Bake the bread for 50 minutes to 1 hour, covering loosely with foil about halfway through to help the loaf bake evenly. Poke the center of the bread with a toothpick. If it comes out clean, the bread is done. Oven times will vary between ovens. My bread usually takes 55 minutes.
• Cool bread completely in the pan set on a wire rack. *Feel free to drizzle with glaze (next step) while the bread is still warm. The glaze seeps down into the warm bread this way, adding extra moisture.*
• *This doesn't yield a lot of glaze- just a light layer. Feel free to double the glaze if you want more.* Whisk the confectioners' sugar and lemon juice together. Drizzle over bread while it's still warm in the loaf pan or after it cools.
• Slice and serve. Cover and store leftover plain or glazed bread at room temperature for 2 days or in the refrigerator for up to 1 week.

LEMON POPPY SEED BUNDT CAKE

• In a medium size bowl whisk together the flour, baking powder, baking soda, and salt and poppy seeds. Set aside.
• In the bowl of a stand mixer fitted with the paddle attachment, cream the butter and sugar until light and fluffy about 2-3 minutes. Add in the eggs, one at a time. Beating well after each addition. Mix in the lemon zest, vanilla, lemon juice, and vegetable oil until thoroughly combined.
• With the mixer on low, alternate adding the flour and sour cream, starting and ending with the flour. (Flour, sour cream, flour, sour cream, flour). Mix until JUST combined. Don't overmix. The batter will be fairly thick.
• Pour the batter into the prepared bundt pan. Bake for 40-50 minutes. (Mine baked for 44 minutes). The cake is done when you insert a toothpick in the center of the cake and it comes out clean with a few moist crumbs on it but no wet batter.
• Remove from oven and cool on a wire rack for 10 minutes in the bundt pan. Then, remove from the pan and cool until just warm to the touch. Once warm to the touch, lightly cover the cake with plastic wrap and let it cool completely. (This little trick helps keep the cake moist! It's amazing!!)
• Once cool, glaze with the lemon glaze.
