Ingredients

For the Loaf:

  • 1 cup Stonyfield Whole Milk Greek Yogurt
  • 1 cup white sugar
  • 3 large eggs
  • 4 tablespoons lemon juice
  • 2 tablespoons lemon zest plus more for topping
  • 2 teaspoons vanilla extract
  • ½ cup vegetable oil
  • 1 ½ cups all purpose flour
  • 2 teaspoons baking powder
  • 1 teaspoon kosher salt
  • 1 tablespoon poppy seeds plus more for topping

For the Glaze:

  • ½ cup plus 2 tablespoons powdered sugar
  • 1 tablespoon Stonyfield Whole Milk Greek Yogurt
  • 1 teaspoon lemon juice
  • ⅛ teaspoon kosher salt

Instructions

For the Loaf:

  • Preheat the oven to 350 degrees with the rack set in the center. Spray a 9×5-inch loaf pan with nonstick cooking spray and line with parchment, leaving a two inch overhang on both sides. Spray parchment.
  • In a large bowl, whisk together the yogurt, sugar, eggs, lemon juice, zest, vanilla and vegetable oil until smooth. Sift in the flour, baking powder and salt, then whisk to combine. Stir in poppy seeds.
  • Transfer batter to the prepared loaf pan and bake until a toothpick inserted into the center of the cake comes out clean, and the loaf is a deep golden brown, 55-60 minutes. If edges begin to brown too much, cover pan with foil.
  • Remove from the oven and allow to cool in the pan on a cooling rack for 15 minutes.
  • Use parchment sling to remove loaf from pan and place on a cooling rack until completely cooled.

For the Glaze:

  • In a small bowl, whisk together the powdered sugar, yogurt, lemon juice and salt until smooth.
  • Pour/drizzle over cake, sprinkle with poppyseeds and lemon zest and let set completely, about 45 minutes.

Notes

If you want to freeze this, freeze the loaf whole after it has cooled completely. Thaw and glaze just before slicing and serving.
