Ingredients

• 3 cups all-purpose flour
• 1.5 teaspoons salt
• 1.5 teaspoons baking powder
• 1.5 tablespoons poppy seeds
• 2.5 cups white sugar
• 1.13 cups vegetable oil
• 3 eggs
• 1.5 cups milk
• 1.5 teaspoons vanilla extract
• 1.5 teaspoons lemon extract
• 0.25 cups orange juice
• 0.75 cups white sugar
• 0.5 teaspoons lemon extract

Instructions

1. 1 Preheat oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C). Grease three 8x4 inch bread pans.
2. 2 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.
3. 3 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.
4. 4 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.
