Yield 20

Number Of Ingredients 13

3 cups all-purpose flour
1 ½ teaspoons salt
1 ½ teaspoons baking powder
1 ½ tablespoons poppy seeds
2 ½ cups white sugar
1 ⅛ cups vegetable oil
3 eggs
1 ½ cups milk
1 ½ teaspoons vanilla extract
1 ½ teaspoons lemon extract
¼ cup orange juice
¾ cup white sugar
½ teaspoon lemon extract

Steps:

  • Preheat oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C). Grease three 8x4 inch bread pans.
  • In a large mixing bowl, stir together the flour, salt, baking powder, poppy seeds and 2 1/2 cups white sugar. Add the eggs, milk, oil, vanilla and lemon extract; mix until smooth, about 1 minute. Pour batter evenly into the prepared pans.
  • Bake at 350 degrees F (175 degrees C) for 50 to 55 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center of the loaves comes out clean. Cool loaves in the pans for 10 minutes before removing to a wire rack.
  • Combine orange juice with remaining 3/4 cup sugar and desired flavor of extract; stir well. Pour this mixture over the loaf while it is still hot. Allow loaf to cool completely before serving.
