List of Ingredients




2 cups flour
2 Tbsp. poppy seeds
1/2 tsp. baking powder
1/4 tsp. baking soda
1/4 tsp. salt
2 large lemons
3/4 cup (1 1/2 sticks) unsalted butter or margarine, softened
1 1/2 cups plus 1/3 cup sugar
4 large eggs
1 tsp. vanilla extract
1/2 cup sour cream

Recipe



Preheat oven to 325ºF. Grease and flour a 5” x 9” metal loaf pan. In medium bowl, combine flour, poppy seeds, baking powder, baking soda and salt. Grate 1 Tbsp. peel and squeeze 3 Tbsp. juice from lemons; set aside.

In large bowl, with mixer at low speed, beat butter or margarine with 1 1/2 cups sugar until blended, then raise speed to high and beat until fluffy, about 5 minutes. Add eggs, one at a time, beating well after each addition.

Beat in grated lemon peel and vanilla. Reduce speed to low and add flour mixture and sour cream alternately, beginning and ending with flour mixture. Spoon batter into pan and bake 1 hour 20 minutes, or until toothpick inserted in center of cake comes out clean.

Cool cake in pan on wire rack 10 minutes. Remove from pan. Mix lemon juice and 1/3 cup sugar; brush over warm cake. Cool completely.
