Greek Yogurt & Olive Oil Orange Poppy Seed Pound Cake

I suspect by now most of you are on to me and my citrus addiction. But guess what guys?! There’s no stop in sight. No end that is near. No… um, I dunno. Basically what I’m saying is let’s ride this bright and cheery citrus train together, ok? I’ll bring the cake 😉

This cake is light, moist, and bursting with vibrant orange flavor. I also added a good handful of poppy seeds because they add a pretty color contrast to the interior, as well as a pleasant crunch. Good stuff!

• 3/4 cup full-fat greek yogurt
• 1½ cups all-purpose flour
• 1/4 cup poppy seeds
