Lemon Poppy Seed loaf

I took this recipe from the Rose Reisman: "The Complete Light Kitchen" cookbook, and it's definitely one I feel is worth passing on.  It makes a really nice light dessert when serving it with coffee or tea.

What you need:
3/4 Cup Granulated sugar
1/3 cup vegetable oil **** I subbed in 1/3 cup unsweetened apple sauce
1 egg
2tsp grated lemon rind
3tbsp fresh squeezed lemon juice
1/3 cup 2% milk
1 1/4 cup all purpose flour
1tbsp poppy seeds
1tsp baking powder
1/2tsp baking soda
1/3 cup yogurt or light sour cream

ICING:
1/4 cup icing sugar
2tbsp freshly squeezed lemon juice

What you do:
1.  Preheat oven to 350F.  Spray a 9x5 inch loaf pan with cooking spray
2.  combine the granulated sugar, oil, egg, lemon rind and 3tbsp of lemon juice; mix well.  Add the milk, mixing thoroughly.
3.  Combine the flour, baking powder, baking soda, and poppy seeds.  Add to the wet mixture alternately with the yoghurt, mixing just until incorporated.
4.  Pour into the prepared pan and bake for 35-40 minutes.  let cool for 10 minutes
5.  For the glaze, combine the icing sugar and 2 tbsp of lemon juice.  prick holes in the top of the loaf with a fork or a wooden skewer and pour the glaze over the loaf

*****if you prefer muffins......pour your batter into muffin tins, and increase oven temperature to 375F
