LEMON POPPY SEED POUNDCAKE



Lemon Poppy Seed Poundcake image

This lemon poppy seed poundcake is summery and quick to make, and perfect for a picnic. One tip: cut up the poundcake before the picnic but leave it in the baking pan. It makes it easier to transport, and the pan protects it, too. Then serve it on its own, with ripe berries, and let the ants enjoy the crumbs.

Tips:

  • Choose the Right Citrus: You can use either oranges or lemons for this recipe. If using oranges, choose a sweet variety such as navel or Valencia. If using lemons, choose Meyer lemons for a milder flavor or regular lemons for a more tart flavor.
  • Zest Before Juicing: Before juicing the citrus, zest the peel to extract the flavorful oils. This will add a burst of citrus flavor to your bread.
  • Use Freshly Ground Poppy Seeds: Freshly ground poppy seeds have a more intense flavor than pre-ground seeds. If you don't have a spice grinder, you can use a mortar and pestle to grind the seeds.
  • Don't Overmix the Batter: Overmixing the batter can result in a tough, dense bread. Mix just until the ingredients are combined.
  • Bake Until Golden Brown: The bread is done baking when a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean and the top is golden brown.

Conclusion:

This orange or lemon poppy seed bread is a delicious and easy-to-make treat. With its moist, tender crumb and bright citrus flavor, it's perfect for breakfast, brunch, or an afternoon snack. You can enjoy it plain or with your favorite spread, such as butter, honey, or cream cheese.
