Instructions

Preheat the oven to 325 degrees F and line a 9x5 loaf pan with parchment paper, leaving the edges hanging over the sides for easy removal.

In a large bowl, whisk together the flour, almond flour, sugar, baking powder, baking soda, salt, and lemon zest.

Whisk in the yogurt, oil, lemon juice, eggs, and vanilla, until fully combined.

Lastly, fold in the poppy seeds.

Pour the batter into the prepared loaf pan.

Bake for about 1 hour - 1 hour and 15 minutes or until a tooth pick inserted comes out with moist crumbs.

Allow the loaf to cool in the pan for a few minutes, then transfer to a wire rack to cool completely.

Stir together the powdered sugar and lemon juice until smooth.

Drizzle over the cooled lemon loaf and enjoy!

Tips & Tricks (5)

Maximize Lemon Flavor 🍋
Zest your lemons before juicing them, and use both zest and fresh juice to create layers of bright citrus flavor—zest brings aromatic oils while juice provides acidic tang that prevents the loaf from tasting flat.
Toast Poppy Seeds First 🌱
Lightly toast the poppy seeds in a dry skillet for 2-3 minutes before adding them to the batter to intensify their nutty flavor and prevent them from settling to the bottom of the loaf.
Greek Yogurt Temperature Matters 🥄
Remove Greek yogurt from the refrigerator 30 minutes before baking so it's room temperature, ensuring it blends smoothly and creates a tender crumb without overmixing.
Glaze at the Right Moment ✨
Apply the powdered sugar glaze while the loaf is still warm but not piping hot—this allows the glaze to set with a beautiful coating while remaining slightly tacky for perfect presentation.
Balance Your Leavening Ratio ⚗️
The combination of baking soda and baking powder works with the acidic lemon juice to create proper rise; adding too much flour or skipping the acid means the loaf won't have the tender, moist crumb this recipe promises.
