Instructions
Preheat the oven. Preheat the oven to 350°F. Prep the cake pan with nonstick cooking spray (we like Bakers Joy).
⭐️Cream the butter and sugar. In a large bowl cream the butter and sugar until it's light and fluffy. Add the buttermilk, eggs, and almond extract and blend until mixed.
Sift the dry ingredients. To the sifter add the flour, salt, and baking soda. Sift then add to the wet ingredients. Mix until just incorporated.
Fold in the remaining ingredients. Fold in the lemon zest, Greek yogurt, and poppy seeds. Using a spatula, fold the ingredients into the cake batter.
⭐️Bake. Pour the cake batter into the prepared pan. Bake for 50 minutes or until a toothpick inserted into the center of the cake comes out clean. Let sit for 10 minutes, then turn over onto the serving platter.
Make the Glaze. In a medium-sized bowl, add 1 tablespoon milk and 1 tablespoon lemon juice to the powdered sugar. Whisk. Drizzle over the cake. Serve.
