- In a bowl add the flour, poppy seeds and baking powder. Whisk together and set aside.
- In the bowl of your stand mixer add butter and sugar and whisk until pale and fluffy.
- Add the eggs, one at a time, beating well after each addition. (If the mixture starts to curdle add one tablespoon of the flour mixture and mix, that should fix it)
- Add the lemon zest, lemon juice and half of the flour mix and mix till combined.
- Add the milk and the rest of the flour mixture and mix till combined.
- Transfer the batter to your loaf pan lined with baking paper. Add the batter and bake for 20-25 minutes or until a toothpick inserted in the middle comes out clean.

- Let cool in the pan for 10 minutes before transferring to a wire rack to cool completely.
- Once cooled drizzle with the glaze and enjoy!
