- 2 tablespoons Orange Zest freshly grated
- 1 cup Sour Cream
- 2 cups All-Purpose Flour
- 1 teaspoon Baking Powder

Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease and flour a loaf pan.
In a mixing bowl, cream the butter and sugar until light and fluffy.
Add the eggs one at a time, beating well after each addition.
Mix in the orange zest and sour cream.
In another bowl, whisk together the flour, baking powder, baking soda, and salt.
Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients, mixing until just combined.
Fold in the poppy seeds.
Pour the batter into the prepared loaf pan and smooth the top.
Bake for 60 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.
Let the cake cool in the pan for 10 minutes, then transfer to a wire rack to cool completely.
