Directions:

Preheat your oven to 350°.

Grease a 9x5-inch loaf pan.

Into a medium sized bowl, pour the flour, baking powder, baking soda, and salt.

Mix until fully combined.

Into a different, larger bowl, pour the sugar and eggs and use an electric mixer to mix them for two minutes.

Add in the melted butter and oil and mix again.

Then, add the vanilla extract, lemon zest, and lemon juice and mix again.

Next, add the sour cream and mix again.

Add in the poppy seeds and mix one more time.

Add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients, about 1/3 of the time and mix together.

It is important to not over mix the batter.

Pour the mixture into the loaf pan and cook for 50 minutes.

After about 35 minutes, cover the pan with foil to avoid the top from burning.

Once it is done, remove the loaf from the pan and let it cool for at least an hour.

While it is cooling down you can make the icing.

Into a small bowl whisk together the icing ingredients until smooth.

Pour the icing over the loaf and let it set onto it before slicing.

Once it is ready, slice it and enjoy.
