Method

1

Preheat oven to 350°F. Grease and flour a 9×5-inch loaf pan. Zest lemons and juice them; reserve separately.

2

In a small bowl, whisk together flour, sugar, baking powder, salt, and lemon zest.

3

In another bowl, whisk eggs, melted butter, Greek yogurt, vanilla extract, and lemon juice until smooth.

4

Fold wet ingredients into dry ingredients until just combined; do not overmix. Some lumps are fine.

5

Pour batter into prepared pan. Bake 50–55 minutes until a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean and the top is golden.

6

Cool in pan 15 minutes, then turn out onto a wire rack to cool completely.

7

Whisk powdered sugar and lemon juice until smooth. Drizzle over cooled loaf. Sprinkle poppy seeds if desired.
