Sweet n' Tangy Lemon Poppy Seed Loaf Cake

Ingredients

  1. For Cake:
  1. 2 cups flour
    1 cup sugar
    1 tsp baking powder
    1/4 cup milk
    2 large eggs
    2 tsp vanilla extract/essence
    1/2 cup butter/margarine (1 stick)
    1/3 cup poppy seeds
    lemon zest from 2 lemons
    pinch of salt
  1. For glaze:
  1. 1/2 cup sugar
    1/3 cup lemon juice

Directions

Preheat oven to 350 F/180 C

For Cake:
1. In a large mixing bowl, cream butter/margarine until fluffy, add sugar, vanilla, lemon zest and eggs. Beat until well combined and add in milk.
3. Now in another mixing bowl combine the rest of the ingredients (sift if you want).
4. After that, add in slowly the dry mixture to the wet mixture, careful to not over beat!
5. Pour cake batter into a greased loaf pan and pop it in the oven for 35-40 min.

For Glaze:
While your cake is baking just grab a small pan and add in the lemon and sugar.
Put that over a medium heat and stir until the sugar is dissolved and the mixture looks glossy.

Final Product:
Once the cake is done baking, pour the glaze over the loaf (still while its in the pan) and let it cool. Once its completely cooled, remove the cake from the pan and... EAT! :)
