FROM PREP TO FINISH

Make it, step by step

  1. Fine lemon zest being rubbed into granulated sugar with fingertips

    Prepare the pan & lemon sugar

    Heat the oven to 350°F. Grease an 8 1/2-by-4 1/2-inch loaf pan and line it with a parchment sling.

    Whisk flour, poppy seeds, baking powder and salt in a medium bowl.

    In a large bowl, rub sugar and lemon zest together with your fingertips until fragrant. Whisk in eggs, yogurt, lemon juice and vanilla.

  2. Poppy seed batter being gently folded with a silicone spatula

    Fold a tender batter

    Whisk plain butter and cannabutter into the wet mixture. Fold in the dry ingredients just until no flour streaks remain.

  3. Unbaked lemon poppy seed batter in a parchment-lined rectangular loaf pan

    Bake & cool the loaf

    Scrape into the pan and bake 48 to 55 minutes, until a tester comes out with a few moist crumbs. Cool 15 minutes in the pan, then move to a rack and cool completely.

  4. Lemon glaze being spooned over a cooled golden poppy seed loaf on a rack

    Glaze & slice evenly

    Whisk powdered sugar with lemon juice into a thick glaze. Spoon over the cooled loaf and let set before cutting into 10 equal slices.

Recipe FAQ

Questions about Cannabis Lemon Poppy Seed Loaf

Can I use sour cream instead of Greek yogurt?

Yes. Full-fat sour cream works one-for-one.

Why did my loaf sink?

The center was probably underbaked or the batter was overmixed. Test the middle, not just the edges.

Can I skip the glaze?

Yes. The loaf is flavorful without it, though the glaze adds a useful burst of acidity.
