Lemon Poppy Seed Bread

Aside from banana bread, lemon poppyseed bread is one of my favorite "dessert-like" breads. It's moist and delicious. And it's really easy, so give it a try. You can make it in muffin form or in bread form.

Ingredients

1 box lemon cake mix

Vanilla instant pudding mix

1 cup hot water

4 eggs

1/2 cup vegetable oil

1/4 cup poppy seeds

Directions

1. Combine all ingredients. (you may want to mix in the hot water before adding the eggs to avoid cooking the eggs)

2. Mix for 2 minutes on medium speed.

3. Pour into greased loaf or muffin pan. Do not fill to the top, only about 2/3 of the way full, you want to make room for the bread to rise (see the picture below).

4. Bake at 350 degrees for 20-25 minutes or until toothpick comes out clean.

A loaf version of the bread. The mix makes enough for 4 mini loaf pans.
