Poppy Seed Bread

"This old-fashioned glazed almond poppy seed bread is the perfect addition to your breakfast, brunch, dinner, or dessert table. The quick bread is really a decadent, buttery pound cake with a moist crumb, a beautiful golden brown exterior, and a hint of almond and vanilla. Pair it with eggs and coffee in the morning, in a bread basket at dinner alongside bbq, roast chicken, and grilled steak, or as an evening treat with a cup of tea. This might be called poppy seed bread, but it's probably more accurately described as a loaf pound cake. The texture of the bread isn't light and airy, but instead has that crisp exterior and soft, buttery crumb that we all know and love in a pound cake. It maintains a rich, dense pound cake texture without feeling dry or crumbly."
