Method for "Lemon Poppy Seed Cake"
Preheat an oven to 350°F. Butter and flour a 9x4-inch loaf pan. Place the butter in a bowl and, using a heavy-duty stand mixer fitted with the paddle attachment or a handheld electric mixer, beat on medium speed until creamy, 2-3 minutes. Gradually add the granulated sugar and continue to beat until the mixture is very pale--almost white--and has doubled in volume, 4-5 minutes. Add the eggs one at a time, beating well after each addition. Sift together the flour and salt into a bowl, then sift together again into another bowl. Add the poppy seeds. Gradually add the sifted mixture to the butter mixture, beating until smooth. Beat in the lemon zest and vanilla. Spoon the batter into the prepared pan. Bake until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean, 1 hour 15 minutes. Remove from the oven and let cool for 10 minutes. Invert onto a rack, lift off the pan and let cool completely. Sift confectioners' sugar over the top.
