Taste of Home Lemon Poppyseed Bread

This is so quick and easy. I love lemon flavors, especially in the summer. I did change this just slightly by adding 1/2 lemon juice and half water instead of 1 cup of water as the recipe calls for and because I love a tart glaze on top I added just that. This is just the right bite with your morning coffee!

INGREDIENTS

• 1 package white cake mix (could use lemon)
• 1 package 3.4 ounce instant lemon pudding
• 1 cup warm water (or 1/2 cup water, 1/2 cup lemon juice)
• 4 large eggs, room temperature
• 1/2 cup canola oil
• 4 teaspoons poppy seeds

FOR THE GLAZE

• 1 cup confectioners sugar
• 3-4 Tablespoons of lemon juice

DIRECTIONS

Preheat oven to 350 degrees. In a large bowl combine the cake mix, pudding mix, water, eggs, and oil. Beat on low speed for 30 seconds then on medium speed for 2 minutes. Fold in poppy seeds.

Pour into two greased 9×5 loaf pans. Bake for 35-40 minutes or until a toothpick inserted the center comes out clean. Cool in pans for 10 minutes before removing to a wire rack.

For the glaze, simply mix the powdered sugar with the lemon juice adding as much lemon juice as you like to get your desired consistency. Drizzle over cooled poppyseed bread.

Enjoy!
