This recipe was given to my mom from our neighbor. The poppy seed bread is topped with an orange glaze for a sweet and delicious treat. The bread is still very scrumptious if you choose not to use the glaze. This is the best!
Ingredients
- 3 cups all-purpose flour
- 1 ½ teaspoons salt
- 1 ½ teaspoons baking powder
- 3 tablespoons poppy seeds
- 1 ½ teaspoons butter flavored extract
- 1 ⅓ cups vegetable oil
- 3 large eggs
- 1 ½ cups milk
- 2 ¼ cups white sugar
- 1 ½ teaspoons vanilla extract
- 1 ½ teaspoons almond extract
- ¼ cup orange juice
- ½ teaspoon butter flavored extract
- ½ teaspoon almond extract
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 2 cups confectioners' sugar, or as needed
Directions
- Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C). Grease bottoms of two 9-inch loaf pans.
- Mix flour, salt, baking powder, poppy seeds, 1 ½ teaspoons butter flavoring, oil, eggs, milk, sugar, vanilla, and almond flavoring together in a large bowl. Pour into prepared pans.
- Bake in the preheated oven until a toothpick inserted into the center of the loaves comes out clean, about 1 hour. Cool loaves for 5 minutes, then poke holes in top of loaves; pour glaze over top of bread.
- To make the glaze: Mix orange juice, 1/2 teaspoon butter flavoring, 1/2 teaspoon almond flavoring, and 1 teaspoon vanilla together in a bowl; stir in enough confectioners' sugar to make a smooth glaze.
