Ingredients

10 servings

For the bread

1 ½ cups all-purpose flour
1 tsp baking powder
¼ tsp baking soda
½ tsp salt
2 tbsp poppy seeds
1 cup granulated sugar
2 tbsp lemon zest (from about 3 lemons)
2 large eggs
Ingredient note
Eggs are safe during pregnancy as long as they are cooked all the way through.
½ cup sour cream
⅓ cup whole milk
⅓ cup vegetable oil
3 tbsp fresh lemon juice
1 tsp vanilla extract

For the glaze

¾ cup powdered sugar, sifted
2–3 tbsp fresh lemon juice

Instructions

1
Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease a 9x5-inch loaf pan and line it with a strip of parchment paper that overhangs the two long sides, leaving handles for easy removal.
2
In a large bowl, combine the granulated sugar and lemon zest. Rub them together with your fingertips until the sugar is fragrant and pale yellow, about 30 seconds. This releases the lemon oils into the sugar.
