Step-by-Step Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and prepare a 9x5-inch loaf pan.
- In a medium bowl, whisk together the flour, baking powder, baking soda, salt, and poppy seeds.
- Cream the softened butter and sugar using an electric mixer until light and fluffy, about 3-4 minutes.
- Add in the eggs one at a time, mixing well after each addition, followed by the vanilla extract.
- Gently mix in the yogurt, lemon juice, and lemon zest until everything is well-combined.
- Fold the dry mixture into the wet ingredients until just combined.
- Pour the batter into the prepared loaf pan, smoothing the top with a spatula.
- Bake for 50-60 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean.
- Cool the loaf in the pan for about 10 minutes before transferring to a wire rack.
- Drizzle with lemon glaze if desired after it cools completely.

Notes
Use fresh lemon juice and zest for best flavor. Be careful not to overmix the batter to ensure a tender loaf.
