This Gluten Free Lemon Poppy Seed Pound Cake is bursting with fresh lemon, with a tender crumb on the inside and a sugary, crunchy crust on the outside. Serve this cake with berries and cream to make a fancier treat.
Preheat the oven to 350°F. Spray a 9 x 5 x 2 1/2-inch loaf pan with oil.
In a mixing bowl, blend the sugar and butter until mixed well and fluffy. Combine the flour, baking powder and salt together in a bowl.
Add the eggs to the butter mixture and mix well. Next, add the lemon juice and zest to the wet mixture and mix until well combined.
Alternate between the flour mixture and milk, starting with the dry ingredients, and add to the sugar mixture and blend just until mixed together.
Stir the poppy seeds into the batter. Pour the batter into the prepared pan and bake for 45-50 minutes or until golden brown and a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean. Allow to cool 5 minutes in pan and then remove.
