This classic lemon poppy seed coffee cake recipe is perfect to break out for brunch or hosting coffee. Fresh lemon juice makes all the difference here. It produces a light, fresh taste that's not too overpowering. When making the glaze, add additional milk a little at a time, if necessary, to reach desired consistency.

Ingredients

Coffee Cake Ingredients:

Non-stick cooking spray

1 c. unsalted butter, softened to room temperature

1¼ c. granulated sugar, divided

1 t. real vanilla extract

3 large eggs, room temperature

1/3 c. fresh-squeezed lemon juice (about 2 lemons)

¾ c. sour cream

4 c. flour

1¼ t. baking soda

1¼ t. baking powder

2 T. poppy seeds

1 T. lemon zest

Non-stick cooking spray

Lemon Glaze Ingredients:

1 c. powdered sugar

1/8 c. whole milk

1 T. fresh lemon juice

Instructions

1

Place top oven rack in the center position and pre-heat oven to 350°F. Prepare a standard-sized Bundt pan by spraying with non-stick cooking spray. Set aside.

2

Cream the butter and sugar in a large mixing bowl. Add the vanilla, eggs, lemon juice, and sour cream and mix until smooth.

3

Combine the flour, baking soda, baking powder, poppy seeds, and lemon zest in a separate bowl. Add dry ingredients slowly to the wet ingredients and mix until smooth.

4

Transfer the cake batter into the prepared Bundt pan. Place in the pre-heated oven for 45-50 minutes or until golden brown on top and a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.

5

While the cake is baking, prepare the lemon glaze by blending the ingredients in a medium bowl until smooth. Set aside.

6

Remove from oven and place hot pan on a wire rack to cool for 30-40 minutes. To serve, remove cake from pan and slice. Drizzle with some lemon glaze right before serving. Enjoy!
