Method
1. preheat oven to 175C and grease a muffin or loaf pan and set aside.
2. In a large bowl, whisk the flour, baking powder, baking soda, salt, and poppy seeds together. Set aside.
3. Using an electric mixer, beat the butter, sugar, and brown sugar together on high speed until smooth and creamy. Scrape down the sides and bottom of the bowl as needed. Add the eggs, sour cream, vanilla extract, lemon zest, and lemon juice. Beat on medium speed for 1 minute, then turn up to high speed and beat until combined. Scrape down the sides and bottom of the bowl to get all the mixture together. The Mixture may look a little chunky and curded; that’s ok.
