Ingredients

The following ingredients have 4 Servings
  • 3 cups all-purpose flour
  • 2½ cups sugar
  • 1½ tablespoons poppy seeds
  • 1½ teaspoons baking powder
  • ½ teaspoon salt
  • 3 large eggs
  • 1½ cups milk
  • 1⅛ cups vegetable oil
  • 1 cup sour cream
  • 2 teaspoons almond extract
  • 2 teaspoons vanilla extract
  • 2 cups powdered sugar (sifted)
  • 3-4 tablespoons milk
  • 1 tablespoon lemon juice
  • ½ teaspoon almond extract

Instruction

  • Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F. Grease two 5-x-9-inch loaf pans with cooking spray and set aside.
  • To make the bread, mix flour, sugar, poppyseeds, baking powder and salt in a large bowl or the bowl of a stand mixer fitted with the paddle attachment. Add eggs, milk, oil, sour cream, almond and vanilla extracts and mix until smooth. Distribute batter evenly into the prepared loaf pans.
  • Tent loaf pans with aluminum foil and bake for 55–60 minutes, removing the foil for the last 15 minutes. Cool loaves in pans for 10 minutes before removing to a wire rack.
  • While bread is baking, prepare the glaze. Mix powdered sugar, milk, lemon juice and almond extract in a bowl until well combined. Begin with 3 tablespoons milk and add more as needed to make it the consistency you like.
  • Spoon glaze over loaves while they are still warm. Allow to cool completely before serving.
