Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F. Add parchment paper to a loaf pan.
Zest a lemon. Microwave the milk so that it is warm to the touch. Sprinkle in lavender and lemon zest to infuse.
In a medium bowl, sift together flour, salt, baking powder, sugar and poppy seeds.
Juice lemons until you get about ⅓ cup lemon.
In another bowl, combine sour cream, butter, lemon juice, infused milk mixture and eggs. Whisk everything together.
Pour the wet ingredients into the dry. Mix until combined.
Pour the batter into the prepared baking loaf pan.
Bake for about 60- 90 minutes or until the center is set and the edges are slightly pulling away.
For the Glaze:
In a bowl, add confectioners sugar and the juice from 1½ lemons. Mix until you reach a desired consistency. Make sure not to add too much liquid at the beginning.
Drizzle the glaze over the loaf.

Notes
If you don't have sour cream handy use plain yogurt instead.The glaze is so simple but amazing, confectioners' sugar whisked with fresh lemon juice. It hardens for a wonderful crunch and tastes like lemonade!I garnished my cake with some extra lemon zest but this is totally optional.Did I mention these would make amazing cupcakes? Just adjust the baking time to closer to 25 minutes.
