1 cup Butter, Softened
1-3/4 cup Sugar
2 whole Eggs
1 cup Plain Greek Yogurt
1/2 teaspoons Vanilla

1
Preheat oven to 350u00b0F. Grease and flour a standard Bundt pan.
2
In the bowl of a stand mixer fitted with the paddle attachment, cream together the butter and sugar until light and fluffy. Incorporate the eggs, followed by the Greek yogurt, vanilla, lemon zest, and poppy seeds.
3
In another bowl, stir together the flour, baking powder, and salt. Add the dry ingredients to the stand mixer, with the mixer on low, in three batches, alternating with the Meyer lemon juice (flour, juice, flour, juice, flour) until it all comes together.
4
Spread the batter into the prepared Bundt pan. Bake 60-65 minutes or until golden and cooked through. Allow the cake to cool on a cooling rack. Turn out the cake from the Bundt pan and dust the top of the cake with powdered sugar. Slice and serve (I served mine warm).

Tips for the best results

Read through all the steps once before you start and measure out your ingredients first — it makes everything go more smoothly.
Preheat the oven fully and bake on the middle rack for the most even results.
Check for doneness a few minutes early — a toothpick in the center should come out with just a few moist crumbs.
Let it cool before slicing so it sets properly and holds its shape.
Store leftovers in an airtight container in the fridge and enjoy within a few days.

Variations & substitutions

Use a neutral oil or a plant-based spread in place of butter for a dairy-free version.
Brown sugar instead of white sugar adds a deeper, more caramel-like flavor.
A good 1:1 gluten-free flour blend works well if you need a gluten-free version.
