Lemon Poppy Seed Summer Squash Bread Recipes

LEMON POPPY SEED SUMMER SQUASH BREAD RECIPE

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 325 degrees Fahrenheit. Grease or line two loaf pans; set aside.
• Place the melted butter, sugar, lemon juice and zest, almond flavor and vanilla extract in a large mixing bowl. Cream together until fluffy and light in color, about 1 to 2 minutes.
• Add the eggs one at a time, allowing each egg to fully incorporate into the mixture before adding another.
• Evenly sprinkle the salt, baking soda, and baking powder over the top of the mixture. Mix well.
• Working in batches, add the flour a 1/2 cup at a time; mix in entirely between additions. Fold in the squash and poppy seeds. Divide the batter between the prepared loaf pans. Bake for 1 hour, until a toothpick inserted into the middle of the loaf comes out clean.

LEMON POPPY SEED POUNDCAKE

Steps:

• Heat oven to 350 degrees. Butter and flour an 8-inch loaf pan.
• In a bowl, combine lemon zest and sugar and rub with your fingers until it looks like wet sand. Whisk in buttermilk, 3 tablespoons lemon juice and eggs. In a separate bowl, whisk together flour, baking powder, baking soda and salt. Whisk dry ingredients into the batter, then whisk in oil and poppy seeds.
• Pour batter into prepared pan. Bake until a toothpick inserted in the center emerges clean, about 1 hour. Let cool in pan until warm to the touch, then turn out onto a baking rack set over a rimmed baking sheet. Turn cake right side up.
• Whisk together remaining 4 teaspoons lemon juice and the confectioners' sugar. Use a pastry brush to spread glaze evenly over top and sides of cake. Cool completely before slicing.
