Prep Time 15 minutes
Cook Time 45 minutes

Ingredients

  • 2 cups all-purpose flour
  • 1 teaspoon baking soda
  • 1 teaspoon baking powder
  • 4 teaspoons poppyseeds
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt
  • 1 egg
  • 3/4 cup sugar
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 3 tablespoons lemon juice
  • 3 tablespoons lime juice
  • 1 tablespoon lemon zest
  • 1 tablespoon lime zest

Lemon Lime Glaze

  • 1 cup powdered sugar
  • 1 tbsp lemon juice
  • 1 tbsp lime juice

Instructions

  1. Preheat oven to 350 degrees. Spray your loaf pan with cooking spray.

  2. Mix dry ingredients: flour, baking soda, baking powder, salt, and poppy seeds.  Set aside.

  3. Mix egg, sugar, oil, milk, lemon juice, lime juice, lemon zest, and lime zest in a second bowl. 

  4. Add flour mixture to the wet ingredients and mix them into a batter.

  5. Pour batter into a greased five by 9-inch loaf pan.  

  6. Bake in the oven for 45 minutes.  Ensure a toothpick comes out clean to ensure the bread is ready before removing it from the oven. 

  7. Make Glaze.  Whisk lemon and lime juice with powdered sugar.  

  8. Poke holes in the loaf and pour the glaze over the bread while it is still warm.  This will help the glaze seep into the bread. 

  9. Ensure the loaf is completely cooled before removing it from the pan and cutting it into slices to serve.
