  1. Lemon Poppyseed Loaf-1
  1. Lemon Poppyseed Loaf-1

Ingredients

  • Zest of 1 lemon
  • ½ cup sugar
  • 2 eggs
  • 130g greek yoghurt
  • 1/3 cup olive oil
  • 2 tbsp lemon juice
  • 1 cup flour
  • ¼ tsp salt
  • ½ tsp baking soda
  • 1 tsp baking powder
  • 1 tbsp poppy seeds
  • 1 cup mascarpone
  • ½ cup thickened cream
  • ¼ cup icing sugar
  • 1 tsp vanilla extract

Preparation

  1. Preheat the Cuisinart Air Crisp Pro Combi Oven to 180C.
  2. In a large mixing bowl, combine lemon zest and sugar. Use a whisk or your fingers to rub the zest into the sugar until fragrant and slightly softened.
  3. Add eggs, yoghurt, olive oil and lemon juice to the bowl and whisk until smooth and well combined.
  4. Add flour, salt, baking soda, baking powder and poppy seeds, and fold the dry ingredients into the wet ingredients until just combined. Be careful not to overmix.
  5. Pour the batter into a prepared loaf pan and spread it evenly.
  6. Once the 'ready' light pops up on your Air Crisp Pro Combi Oven, bake the loaf for 25-30 min.
  7. After 30 min, rotate the pan 180 degrees and reduce the temperature to 160C for a further 10-20 min or until a toothpick inserted into the centre comes out clean. Let the loaf cool in the pan for 10 min before transferring to a wire rack to cool completely.
  8. Meanwhile, use an electric mixer to combine mascarpone, thickened cream, icing sugar and vanilla extract until smooth and fluffy. Adjust sweetness to taste.
  9. Once the loaf has cooled, slice and serve with a generous dollop of mascarpone whip on top. For an extra touch, drizzle with a little more olive oil if desired.
