Instructions:
-
In a large bowl, using an electric mixer, cream together 2 1/4 cups of sugar, eggs, and oil until smooth and well combined.
-
In a separate bowl, stir together flour, baking powder, and salt until evenly mixed.
-
Alternating with milk, begin and end with the dry ingredients, gradually add the flour mixture to the creamed mixture, mixing until just combined.
-
Stir in poppy seeds, vanilla extract, almond extract, and butter flavor until evenly distributed throughout the batter.
-
Beat the batter together for 1 to 2 minutes until it achieves a smooth consistency.
-
Grease two loaf pans generously, then divide the batter evenly between the prepared pans, spreading it out evenly.
-
Preheat your oven to 350Β°F (175Β°C), and bake the loaves for 45 to 50 minutes, or until they pass the toothpick test and a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.
-
While the loaves are baking, prepare the glaze by combining sugar, orange juice, almond extract, and butter in a small saucepan over medium heat.
-
Stir the mixture constantly until the sugar dissolves completely, then allow it to come to a gentle boil for about one minute.
-
Keep the glaze warm until ready to use.
-
Once the loaves are done baking, remove them from the oven and immediately pour the warm glaze over the loaves while they’re still in the pans.
-
Allow the glazed loaves to cool in the pans for about 15 minutes to set the glaze, then carefully loosen them from the sides of the pan and gently turn them out onto a wire rack to finish cooling completely.
