So I love me some poppy seed cake/sweet bread. For this recipe I used an 8oz tub of Noosa Lemon Greek Yogurt. I followed the rest of the recipe as written, except I didn’t have any lemon zest. The batter was very thick and wet, and didn’t rise much, which was good because it was a very full pan! I used a NordicWare cinnamon loaf pan which is 12x4x2.5 inches but is like a half-pipe shape. I baked it in a 350 oven for about 37 minutes.
The result is more sweet bread than cake, and the lemon really pops out and cuts down on the sweetness. It’s got a nice crumb. I couldn’t say if using a smaller tub of yogurt would alter the texture. Personally, I think it would be great warm with a thin layer of butter!

Is it good? Is it the same recipe that you remember?
It might get greatly enhanced if you put store-bought lemon frosting on it.
Classic Weight Watchers Lemon Yogurt Poppyseed Cake as I made it
8oz tub of Noosa Lemon Greek Yogurt
2 cups all-purpose flour
¾ cup sugar
2 eggs
¼ cup vegetable oil
2 tablespoons lemon juice
2 tablespoons poppy seeds
2 teaspoons baking powder
½ teaspoon baking soda
¼ teaspoon salt
1 teaspoon vanilla
Instructions
Heat oven to 350°F (175°C).
Grease a 9×5 loaf pan or small bundt pan.
In a bowl whisk together:
flour baking powder baking soda salt poppy seeds.
In another bowl mix:
yogurt sugar eggs oil lemon zest lemon juice vanilla.
Fold dry ingredients into wet ingredients until just combined. Pour into the pan. Bake 40–45 minutes until a toothpick comes out clean. Cool 15 minutes before removing from the pan.
I thought it was a rack of ribs….
Woooo that does look how I remember it! I’m on a business trip now, but I will definitely try it when I’m home.
Looks nice.
Looks good. A little dry maybe? Would make excellent french toast!
I love Nordicware pans (and bundt pans in general). Such a fantastic way to get a nice-looking cake without having to use a ton of frosting.
Flavored bread has a yeasted version that I made into rolls, 🥐 good 👍
Noosa is a high-fat yogurt, and very dense. You might try it with a non-fat yogurt next time to see if it more closely resembles the texture of the original recipe, unless you’re going to stick with what you’ve done! Looks great, and I just had a tub of lemon Noosa for breakfast today because I felt like treating myself!
