Ingredients

  • 2 cups all-purpose flour
  • 1 teaspoon baking soda
  • 1 teaspoon baking powder
  • ½ teaspoon salt
  • 2 tablespoons poppy seeds
  • ½ cup melted butter cooled
  • cup granulated white sugar
  • cup brown sugar
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract divided
  • 2 eggs
  • ½ cup sour cream
  • ½ cup milk

Orange Glaze

  • ½ orange
  • cup powdered sugar

Instructions

  • In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the flour, baking soda, baking powder, salt, and poppy seeds.
  • In a medium mixing bowl, stir together the melted, cooled butter and the sugars. Then stir in 3/4 teaspoon vanilla extract and two eggs. Then stir in the sour cream and milk.
  • Stir the wet ingredients into the dry, until a thick batter forms (like cake batter).
  • Spoon the batter into a loaf pan lined with parchment paper.
  • Bake at 350°F for 45-48 minutes, until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.
  • While the loaf cools, make the glaze. Whisk together juice from half a orange (about 2 heaping tablespoons) with 1/4 teaspoon vanilla extract and the powdered sugar. Drizzle over the poppy seed bread before serving.

Notes

You can substitute sour cream for Greek yogurt.
