Servings: persons

3 eggs
1-1/2 cups (350 ml) milk
1-1/8 cups (275 ml) oil
3 cups (700 ml) flour
2-1/2 cups (600 ml) sugar
1-1/2 tsp (7 ml) baking powder
1-1/2 tsp (7 ml) salt
1-1/2 tsp (7 ml) poppy seeds
1-1/2 tsp (7 ml) vanilla extract
1-1/2 tsp (7 ml) almond extract
1-1/2 tsp (7 ml) butter extract
1/8 cup (30 ml) orange juice
3/4 cup (175 ml) powdered sugar
1/2 tsp (2 ml) vanilla extract
1/2 teaspooon almond extract
1/2 tsp (2 ml) butter extract

1
Preheat oven to 350 degrees (175 C.).
2
Grease and flour two loaf pans.
3
Sift the flour, baking powder, poppy seeds, and salt into a bowl and set aside.
4
In a large bowl, combine the eggs, milk, and oil together; then add the sugar and blend well.
5
Next, add all the flavoring extracts, and blend in well.
6
(Note, it is best to use Pure extracts flavors if possible, not imitation flavorings, check the name on the front of the bottle or box).
7
Carefully, add the dry flour mixture to the wet mixture, and beat until smooth, but not over-worked.
8
Place the batter into the two prepared loaf pans and bake for slightly longer than one hour, bout 65 minutes, and it is imperative to set on a rack to cool, (the bottom of these cakes have a tendency to get soggy if not cooled on a rack).
9
In a small bowl, mix together by hand whipping with a fork, until it is smooth and no sugar lumps are present and the sugar is well dissolved, the orange juice (fresh squeezed with a bit of zest is phenominal tasting for this recipe), the powdered sugar, and flavoring extracts.
10
Carefully use a slight bit more orange juice for thinner glaze, or add slowly a tad more powdered sugar for thicker glaze.
11
Pour Glaze over warm bread in the loaf pans.
12
Serve warm or cold.

Tips for the best results

Read through all the steps once before you start and measure out your ingredients first — it makes everything go more smoothly.
Preheat the oven fully and bake on the middle rack for the most even results.
Check for doneness a few minutes early — a toothpick in the center should come out with just a few moist crumbs.
Let it cool before slicing so it sets properly and holds its shape.
Store leftovers in an airtight container in the fridge and enjoy within a few days.

Variations & substitutions

Use a neutral oil or a plant-based spread in place of butter for a dairy-free version.
Brown sugar instead of white sugar adds a deeper, more caramel-like flavor.
Leave out the nuts to make it nut-free, or swap in seeds for a similar crunch.
A good 1:1 gluten-free flour blend works well if you need a gluten-free version.
