Bake up a loaf of this soft, sweet lemon poppy seed bread for a scrumptious breakfast, snack or dessert. It’s so easy and super moist!
Three years ago on Sunday, I started this blog and absolutely no idea what I was doing. To say I had a handle on anything from photo takin’ to cake bakin’ would have been a lie. But, while I still have no clue how to create a perfect layer cake, I have learned plenty about photography, writing, and cooking and baking in general. I’ve also learned that there are lots of really nice people out there, and that I’m lucky enough to have a handful stop by every day to say nice things.
So, thank you. From the bottom of my butter loving heart, thank you for reading, commenting, inspiring and encouraging. You make the wheels go ‘round on this big ole blogging bus. Who knows if it has a stop in sight, but I’m having tremendous fun trucking right along. :)
Now onto the lemony, poppy seedy deliciousness! This bread is super delish, and you won’t believe how simple it is, too. Using a cake mix and pudding mix, it’s quick, extra easy and mouthwateringly moist. Use this recipe from scratch if you’d rather. It’s just as yummy!
Slather over a smooth glaze made with powdered sugar and lemon juice, and this bread goes from good to NOM NOM NOM… That’s the sound of me eating your slice.
This delicious, easy lemon poppy seed bread makes for a sunny, citrusy breakfast, dessert or homemade gift from the heart. They freeze well, too.
Bake up a loaf some lazy day for yourself and someone lucky enough to enjoy it with you!
