Lemon Poppy Seed Loaf

Preheat the oven to 180°C and line a 22 cm loaf pan with baking paper. Combine the flour, baking powder, and salt and set aside. Cream the butter and sugar with a hand mixer until fluffy, then add the eggs and mix thoroughly. Stir in the sour cream, poppy seeds, lemon juice, and zest. Briefly stir in the flour mixture (as briefly as possible to keep the batter nice and light). Pour into the pan and bake on the middle rack for 50-60 minutes (test with a skewer). Let the finished cake cool in the pan for another 15 minutes and then remove. Delicious on its own or with lemon ice cream.
