Cake
In a medium mixing bowl, add the 3 cups flour, poppyseeds, baking powder, baking soda and salt. Stir and set aside.
In a large mixing bowl, add the granulated sugar and lemon zest. Using your fingers, rub the zest into the sugar until it becomes wet and aromatic.
Add the eggs and whisk until well combined. Then add the milk, sour cream, vegetable oil, vanilla extract and lemon juice. Whisk until well combined.
Add the dry mixture to the wet mixture and whisk gently until just combined. Don't overmix. Pour the batter into the pan you set aside earlier and bake for 45-55 minutes or until the middle of the cake springs back when gently pushed.
While the cake cools, make the glaze by combining the icing sugar and lemon juice in a small bowl. Drizzle over the cake once it is fully cooled. Slice into squares and store leftovers in an airtight container for up to 3 days and enjoy!
