Lemon Poppy Seed Pound Cake Recipe

written by Lee-Ann November 21, 2017
Lemon Poppy Seed Pound Cake Recipe

An amazing cake recipe I found online – Lemon Poppy Seed Pound Cake.

I’ve had this recipe triple-starred in my “favorites” file for a while now. Every time I make it, not only is it consistently delicious, but I am always surprised that a healthier recipe variation can be so perfect. Sometimes you can tell with “light” recipes–but this one, you REALLY can’t. Really and truly. The delectable combination of tart lemons and crunchy poppy seeds bakes into a simple, pleasantly dense pound cake that still has a fluffy bite and puckery glaze.

And really, this cake is just begging to be made for a Mother’s Day brunch. A tall stack of pancakes, a large bowl of strawberries, some thick Greek yogurt, fresh flowers on the table and this beautiful little shiny loaf to have with coffee–I think that sounds pretty good. In fact, I think it sounds fairly spectacular.

(As a side bonus, here’s a link to the Flight of the Concord’s Sugar Lumps, that I reference in the recipe below. If you haven’t watched this piece of hilariousness, you must watch it now. And if you already have–well, it’s always good for a repeat viewing.)

How to make Lemon Poppy Seed Pound Cake

Print This
Serves: 12 Servings Prep Time: 15 Minutes Cooking Time: 60 minutes

Ingredients

1 cup granulated sugar

1/3 cup butter, softened

2 large eggs

2 Tbsp lemon zest

1 tsp vanilla extract

1 2/3 cup all-purpose, unbleached flour

2 Tbsp poppy seeds

1 tsp baking powder

1/4 tsp baking soda

pinch of salt

3/4 cup buttermilk

For glaze:
2/3 cup powdered sugar

2 Tbsp lemon juice

To prepare pan:
1 tsp flour

cooking spray

Instructions

  1. Prepare a loaf pan by misting it lightly with cooking spray and dusting with 1 tsp of flour. Preheat oven to 350 F.
  2. Beat butter and sugar until fluffy.
  3. Add eggs one at a time, beating well after each addition.
  4. Add the lemon zest and vanilla, beating in well.
  5. In a small bowl, whisk together the flour, salt, baking powder, baking soda, and poppy seeds.
  6. In three installments, alternate adding in your flour mixture into the butter/sugar mixture with the buttermilk, beginning and ending with the flour.
  7. Pour the batter in your loaf pan and bake in the center of your preheated oven for about an hour.
  8. Test with a toothpick in the middle–if it comes out clean, it will be done.
  9. Let your cake cool in its pan on a rack for 10 minutes while you prepare the glaze by whisking the powdered sugar with the lemon juice.
  10. Make sure it is mixed very well–sugar lumps (though a great Flight of the Concords song–see above!) don’t make for a pretty glaze.
  11. Run a butter knife around the cake in the pan and lift out, placing on rack.
  12. While cake is still warm, place the rack over a sheet of wax paper and poke some holes on the top.
  13. Brush on the glaze.
  14. Let it cool completely and then ENJOY.
  15. This cake stores well at room temperature in an airtight container.
