Instructions

  • Preheat the oven to 350 F.
  • In a medium sized bowl, whisk together the flour, baking powder, lemon zest, poppy seeds, and sea salt.
  • Add the butter, cream cheese, and vanilla extract to a large bowl. Beat with an electric mixer for 1-2 minutes until fully combined and fluffy.
  • Add the coconut sugar to the bowl and mix for an additional minute, then beat in the eggs.
  • Add the flour mixture to the butter mixture 1/2 cup at a time, mixing thoroughly.
  • Line a loaf pan with parchment paper, or grease with butter, then fill with the batter. Bake for 50-55 minutes, until the top is browned and a toothpick inserted into the middle of the loaf comes out clean.
  • Let the bread cool for at least one hour, then make the glaze. In a small bowl, combine the powdered sugar, poppy seeds, and lemon juice. Pour the glaze over the bread, sprinkle with lemon zest, slice, and serve!
