Handy Hint

For best results, leave to cool and then wrap and store overnight.

Method

1. Pre heat oven to 180C. Place rack in centre of the oven. Line and grease a loaf tin and place to one side.
2. In one bowl, mix the dry ingredients together (flour, baking powder, salt, poppy seeds, and lemon zest).
3. Using either a hand mixer or food mixer in a second bowl, beat the butter and sugar until light and fluffy. Add the eggs one at a time and mixing after each. Slowly add the flour and milk.
4. Pour the mixture into the loaf tin and place in the oven for 50-60 mins, or until the top is brown and a knife comes out clean.
5. In the meantime, place the remaining sugar and squeezed lemon into a saucepan and mix until dissolved.
7. Once the loaf has finished, immediately brush to glaze onto the loaf.
