Instructions
INSTRUCTIONS
For the Loaf:
- Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F. Add parchment paper to a loaf pan.
- Zest a lemon. Microwave the milk so that it is warm to the touch. Sprinkle in lavender and lemon zest to infuse.
- In a medium bowl, sift together flour, salt, baking powder, sugar and poppy seeds.
- Juice lemons until you get about ⅓ cup lemon.
- In another bowl, combine sour cream, butter, lemon juice, infused milk mixture and eggs. Whisk everything together.
- Pour the wet ingredients into the dry. Mix until combined.
- Pour the batter into the prepared baking loaf pan.
- Bake for about 60- 90 minutes or until the center is set and the edges are slightly pulling away.
For the Glaze:
- In a bowl, add confectioners sugar and the juice from 1½ lemons. Mix until you reach a desired consistency. Make sure not to add too much liquid at the beginning.
- Drizzle the glaze over the loaf.
Notes
- If you don't have sour cream handy use plain yogurt instead.
- The glaze is so simple but amazing, confectioners' sugar whisked with fresh lemon juice. It hardens for a wonderful crunch and tastes like lemonade!
- I garnished my cake with some extra lemon zest but this is totally optional.
- Did I mention these would make amazing cupcakes? Just adjust the baking time to closer to 25 minutes.
