To keep the party right on rolling this week, I’m sharing the recipe for a great party food…this delicious and “Perfect Poppyseed Bread”. I served it at the “HOORAY! Baby Gender Reveal Party” that I threw a little bit ago.
This dessert bread always receives rave reviews at gatherings. It’s moist and has a slight hint of orange-y taste from the glaze. The almond and butter extract give it a perfect flavor. It’s seriously the best I’ve ever had.

Yield: 2 loaves
3 1/2 c. flour
2 1/2 c. sugar (minus 2 T.)
1 1/2 t. salt
1 1/2 t. baking powder
1 T. poppyseed
1 T. water
3 eggs
1 1/2 c. oil
1 1/2 c. milk (plus 2 T.)
1 1/2 t. each of vanilla extract, butter flavoring and almond flavoring.
Cream together sugar, water, eggs, oil, milk, vanilla, butter and almond flavorings. In a separate bowl, stir together flour, salt, baking powder and poppyseed. Add dry ingredients to wet and mix until combined. Pour into well-greased and floured loaf pans and bake at 350 degrees for 55 minutes to 1 hr., or just until toothpick inserted into center comes out clean. Let sit 10 minutes before removing from pan. Poke holes in loaf tops with a fork or toothpick, then pour on glaze.
