Poppy Seed Bread

Here's a recipe I received from my Aunt Ruth. It's a super moist bread to share with your loved ones and friends at Christmas.

3 cups flour
1 1/2 teaspoons salt
1 1/2 teaspoons baking powder
3 eggs
1 1/2 cups milk
1 1/8 cups canola oil
2 1/4 cups sugar
1 1/2 tablespoons poppy seed
1 1/2 teaspoons vanilla extract
1 1/2 teaspoons butter flavoring
1 1/2 teaspoons almond flavoring

Glaze:
3/4 cups powdered sugar
1/4 cup orange juice
1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract
1/2 teaspoon almond flavoring

In large bowl, mix together top ingredients. Pour into 2-3 greased loaf pans. Bake 50-60 minutes at 350 degrees. Top with glaze while warm. Garnish with candied cherries and sugar sprinkles. Freezes well. Click here for a printable version of this recipe.
