Ingredients

Lemon Poppy Seed Quick Bread

  • 1 3/4 cups all-purpose flour
  • 1 1/4 teaspoons baking powder
  • 1/2 teaspoon fine sea salt
  • 1/2 cups I Can't Believe It's Not Butter!®
  • 3/4 cups granulated sugar
  • 2 large eggs
  • 2 teaspoons vanilla extract
  • zest from 2 lemons
  • 3/4 cups whole milk
  • 2 tablespoons poppy seeds

Glaze

  • 1 cup confectioner's sugar
  • 2 tablespoons whole milk

Instructions

  • Preheat your oven to 350 degrees F and spray a 9x5in loaf pan with a non-stick spray. Line the pan with parchment paper, leaving just enough overhang to make it easier to pull out later, and then spray the parchment paper with more non-stick spray. Set aside.
  • In a medium bowl, whisk together the flour, baking powder and sea salt. Set aside.
  • In the bowl of your stand mixer, with paddle attachment fixed, cream together the I Can't Believe It's Not Butter!® and granulated sugar until smooth and creamy. With the mixer set on low, add each egg, one at a time, making sure the first one if fully incorporated before you add the second one. Add the vanilla extract and lemon zest and mix again.
  • With the mixer set on low, taking turns, gradually add the flour mixture and then the milk in 1/4 cup increments, making sure to end with the flour mixture until just combined. Do not overmix. Gently fold in the poppy seeds.
  • Pour the batter into the prepared pan, and bake until a toothpick comes out clean, about 1 hour.
  • Let cool in the pan for a half hour and then transfer to a wire rack to cool the rest of the way.
  • While your cake is cooling, prepare the glaze. In a small bowl, whisk together the confectioner's sugar and whole milk until smooth and creamy. Drizzle onto cooled cake.
  • The cake will store at room temperature in an air tight container for a day or two.
  • Enjoy!
