Poppy Seed Loaf

Okay, this is not really a bread, but if we call it "bread", instead of "cake", then we feel fine about eating it for breakfast, right? This recipe came from Troy's mom, and it is my Gabrielle's absolute favorite.

3 eggs
2 1/4 c. sugar
1 1/2 c. milk
1 c. + 1 Tbsp. oil
1 1/2 tsp. vanilla
1 1/2 tsp. almond extract
1 1/2 tsp. butter flavoring
3 c. flour
1 1/2 tsp. salt
1 1/2 tsp. baking powder
1 1/2 Tbsp. poppy seeds

Cream all together. Pour into 3 greased loaf pans. Bake at 350 for 30-40 minutes.
Let cool 5-10 minutes.

Glaze:
3/4 c. sugar
1/4 c. orange juice
1/4 tsp. butter flavoring
1/2 tsp. vanilla
1/2 tsp. almond extract

Blend thoroughly with a fork or small whisk.

Loosen cooked loaves with knife and cover with glaze while still warm.
