Ingredients

For the cake

1.5 cups all purpose flour
1 teaspoon baking powder
0.25 teaspoon salt
0.5 cup unsalted butter melted
1 cup granulated sugar
3 large eggs
1 teaspoon vanilla
0.5 teaspoon almond extract
0.5 cup milk
2 tablespoons poppy seeds

For the glaze

1 cup powdered sugar
0.5 teaspoon vanilla
0.5 teaspoon almond extract
2-4 tablespoons milk or heavy cream

Instructions

Preparation

Preheat oven to 350°F. Spray a 9x5 loaf pan with nonstick cooking spray (the kind with flour) or grease and flour it.
Whisk flour, baking powder, and salt in a medium bowl. Set aside.
Whisk butter and sugar in a large bowl. Mix in eggs, one at a time, then mix in extracts. Alternately add milk and flour mixture, stirring in between additions, until batter is combined. Stir in poppy seeds.
Bake for 40-50 minutes, or until a toothpick comes out clean. Let cool 20 minutes in pan, then carefully remove to a rack to finish cooling.
Make the glaze: whisk powdered sugar, extracts, and milk until smooth. Pour over cooled cake.
Store loosely covered at room temperature for up to 3 days or freeze for up to 1 month.

Notes

Full fat milk is best but you can use low-fat or nondairy. I don't recommend using fat free milk.
