Ingredients

Pan

1 Tbsp Butter
2 tbsp Sugar

Cake

1 Cup Sugar
½ Cup Buttermilk
3 Tbsp Yuzu Super Juice
3 Eggs
1 ¾ Cup All-Purpose Flour
1 ½ Tsp Baking Powder
¼ Tsp Baking Soda
¼ Tsp Sea Salt
⅔ Cup Olive Oil
1 Tbsp Poppy Seeds

Glaze

½ cup Confectioners’ Sugar
4 Tsp Yuzu Super Juice

Instructions

Step 1

Heat oven to 350°F. Butter an 8-inch loaf pan and sprinkle 2 tablespoons of sugar on all sides to make sure the cake doesn’t stick. Remove excess sugar by turning the pan upside down.

Step 2

In a bowl, add sugar, whisk in buttermilk, 3 tablespoons of Yuzu Super Juice and eggs. In a separate bowl, whisk together flour, baking powder, baking soda and salt. Whisk dry ingredients into the batter, then whisk in oil and poppy seeds.

Step 3

Pour batter into loaf pan. Bake for 1 hour, checking after 50 minutes if a toothpick inserted in the center emerges clean. Let cool in pan then place onto a wire cooling rack.

Step 4

Whisk together confectioners’ sugar and 4 teaspoons Yuzu Super Juice. Using a pastry brush, spread glaze over the cake, allowing for it to drip to the sides. Let cool for 1 hour before slicing.
