List of Ingredients

3/4 cup poppyseeds
1 cup milk
1/2 pound (2 sticks) butter
1 1/3 cups light brown sugar
3 eggs
2 cups unbleached white flour
3 teaspoons baking powder
1/2 teaspoon salt
1/2 teaspoon vanilla
1 teaspoon lemon rind



Recipe

Preheat oven to 350F
Butter 2 medium loaf pans

1) Heat poppyseeds and milk together in a saucepan. Remove from heat right before it boils. Let stand until room temperature.

2) Cream butter with sugar. Add eggs, one at a time, beating *well* after each.

3) Sift dry ingredients together. Add alternately with poppyseed mixture, stirring well after each addition. Stir in vanilla and lemon rind at the end.

4) Bake in well-greased loaf pans at 350F for 40-50 minutes, or until cake-tester comes out clean.
