This bread is so good that two loaves disappeared in one short evening. It's from a really old ward recipe book that my grandma gave me. It's tangy and delicious with a tart glaze to top it off. The only thing I don't like is the expense of the poppy seeds. The recipe calls for 1/4 of a cup which is about 2/3 of $4.50 bottle. If anyone knows where to find bulk spices for reasonable prices, please let me know. Luckily, the rest of the ingredients are relatively inexpensive. Try it, I think you'll love it!
POPPY SEED LOAVES
1 pkg. lemon cake mix
1 small pkg. instant lemon or vanilla pudding mix
1/4 c. poppy seeds
1 c. hot water
4 eggs
1/2 c. vegetable oil
juice from 1/2 of a lemon
powdered sugar
- Mix cake mix, pudding, eggs, seeds, water, and oil all at once on medium speed for 4 minutes.
- Spread in 2 greased loaf pans (I use glass Pyrex.)
- Bake at 350 degrees for 40 minutes.
- Make a glaze with the lemon juice and powdered sugar.
- When loaves are done baking, remove from oven, let cool for 5 minutes and remove from pans.
- Put wax paper under the cooling rack to catch glaze drips. Drizzle glaze over the bread while it is still warm.
- Slice and enjoy!
