Ingredients
2개 Lemons, 0.5컵 Whole milk, 0.5작은술 Culinary lavender (optional), 2컵 All-purpose flour, 1.75컵 Granulated sugar, 1.5작은술 Baking powder, 0.25작은술 Salt, 1큰술 Poppy seeds, 0.75컵 Unsalted butter (melted), 0.5컵 Sour cream, 3개 Eggs, 1컵 Powdered sugar
Instructions
1. Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C).
2. Zest two lemons using a microplane to get about one tablespoon of zest. Set aside.
3. Heat half a cup of whole milk in the microwave for 20 to 40 seconds until warm, but not scalding hot.
4. Add the lemon zest to the warm milk. Optionally, add half a teaspoon of culinary lavender for infusion. Stir and set aside for about 5 minutes.
5. Juice the lemons to get one-third of a cup of freshly squeezed lemon juice.
6. In a medium bowl, combine 2 cups (240g) of all-purpose flour, 1 and 3/4 cups (350g) of granulated sugar, 1 and 1/2 teaspoons of baking powder, a quarter teaspoon of salt, and 1 tablespoon of poppy seeds. Whisk until well combined.
7. In a large bowl, add 3/4 cup (170g) of melted unsalted butter, half a cup (120g) of sour cream, one-third cup of lemon juice, and three whole eggs. Add the infused milk with zest (and lavender if used). Whisk until perfectly combined.
8. Combine the wet and dry ingredients. Gently stir until just combined, being careful not to overmix.
9. Pour the batter into a prepared 8.5 x 4.5 inch loaf pan, lightly greased and lined with parchment paper. Smooth the top with a spatula or gently shimmy to level.
10. Bake for 60 to 80 minutes at 350°F (175°C). At 50 minutes, loosely tent with foil to prevent over-browning. The cake is done when a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.
11. Once the cake has baked and cooled, prepare the lemon icing. In a bowl, combine 1 cup (120g) of powdered sugar with 1 tablespoon of freshly squeezed lemon juice. Mix patiently until smooth.
12. Drizzle the icing over the cooled cake. For garnish, add a tiny bit of fresh lemon zest right before serving.
