Lemon Poppyseed Loaf with Yogurt Glaze

Big day today guys - I don’t have any Poppyseed recipes on WGC and my daughter is named Poppy… it was time to fix it! Lemon Poppyseed Loaf with Yogurt Glaze coming in hot for Feb!

I live for a loaf. Cake - meh, it’s fine. Cupcakes - absolutely not. But a loaf… sign me up. It’s one of my favorite things to make and store in the freezer for a rainy day. I love gifting loaves of baked goods to friends because it travels so well. And I LIVE for a loaf at a brunch. This Lemon Poppyseed Loaf with Yogurt Glaze is perfection. Dotted with poppyseeds, infused with a lemon glaze, made with a yogurt base for extra moisture… it’s amazing.

The base of this loaf recipe is so multi-purpose. And while I’m going with a poppyseed lemon combo here, I highly encourage you to take the base cake recipe and make it work no matter what time of year you’re baking. Summer would be insane with some fruit, winter would be delish with some cranberries on top and spring you could leave it plain with some macerated strawberries on top. The end result is going to be perfect every time. And that’s because the base loaf recipe itself is to die for.

The Greek Yogurt portion is made with with Stonyfield Greek yogurt, obviously as its the best Greek Yogurt and the yogurt gives the batter and extra level of moisture so it doesn’t dry out. Not to mention, Stonyfield is just hands down an incredible company that always supports small dairy farmers and you know that’s very important to me as a consumer!

I’m thrilled to be working with Stonyfield again this year - so get ready for even more yogurt inspired recipes like these:
