Ingredients
  

  • 1½ cups all-purpose flour
  • 1½ teaspoons baking powder
  • ½ teaspoon baking soda
  • 2 Tablespoons poppy seeds
  • pinch of salt
  • ½ cup butter
  • 1 cup granulated sugar
  • 1 Tablespoon lemon zest
  • 3 eggs, at room temperature
  • 1 cup sour cream
  • ½ Tablespoon lemon juice
  • ¾ teaspoon almond extract
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract

Glaze

  • 1 cup powdered sugar
  • 1½ Tablespoons milk
  • 1½ Tablespoons lemon juice
  • ½ teaspoon almond extract

Instructions
 

  • Prep. Preheat the oven to 350°F (177°C) and generously grease a 9X5 loaf pan with butter.
  • Combine the dry ingredients. Whisk together the flour, baking powder, baking soda, poppy seeds, and salt and set aside.
  • Cream. Cream together the butter, sugar, and lemon zest until significantly lighter in color and fluffy in texture.
  • Combine the wet ingredients. Mix the eggs into the butter mixture one at a time. Then mix in the sour cream followed by the lemon juice, almond extract, and vanilla extract.
  • Put it all together. Add the wet ingredients to the dry ingredients and mix by hand until just combined.
  • Bake. Pour the batter into the prepared loaf pan and bake for 50-60 minutes or until a toothpick inserted in the center of the loaf comes out clean.
  • Cool. Allow the cake to cool in the pan for 10 minutes or so before turning it out onto a wire rack to cool completely.
  • Make the glaze. Whisk together the powdered sugar, milk, lemon juice, and almond extract.
  • Glaze the loaf. Drizzle the glaze over the fully cooled loaf.
