Ingredients

• 2.5 cups All-purpose flour
• 1.5 cups Granulated sugar
• 1.5 teaspoons Baking powder
• 0.5 teaspoons Salt
• 2 tablespoons Poppy seeds
• 1 cup Milk
• 0.75 cup Vegetable oil
• 3 large Eggs
• 1 teaspoon Vanilla extract
• 1 teaspoon Almond extract
• 2 tablespoons Butter
• 0.25 cup Orange juice
• 0.5 cup Powdered sugar

Directions

Step 1

Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C) and grease a 9x5 inch loaf pan.

Step 2

In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the flour, sugar, baking powder, salt, and poppy seeds.

Step 3

In another bowl, combine the milk, vegetable oil, eggs, vanilla extract, and almond extract. Beat until well blended.

Step 4

Pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients, and stir until just combined. Avoid over-mixing to ensure a tender crumb.

Step 5

Pour the batter into the prepared loaf pan and smooth the top with a spatula.

Step 6

Bake in the preheated oven for 50-60 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean.

Step 7

Allow the bread to cool in the pan for 10 minutes, then transfer to a wire rack to cool completely.

Step 8

While the bread is cooling, prepare the glaze by melting the butter in a small saucepan over low heat.

Step 9

Add the orange juice and powdered sugar to the melted butter, and whisk until smooth and fully combined.

Step 10

Once the bread is cool, drizzle the glaze over the top and let it set before slicing and serving.
