Lemon Poppy Seed Bread (Cake)

This recipe is here because we keep misplacing the tattered paper one in the recipe box. This way, we'll always be able to find it! This is the preferred birthday cake at our house.

Lemon Poppy Seed Bread (or Cake)

3 cups flour
2-1/4 cup sugar
1-1/2 tsp baking powder
1-1/2/ tsp salt
3 eggs
1-1/2 cup milk
1-1/8 cup salad oil
3 Tbsp Poppy Seeds
1-1/2 tsp vanilla

Preheat oven to 350 degrees.
Mix all ingredients together and beat about 2 minutes.
Grease 2 bread pans. Bake for 1 hour.
While it's baking, mix 3/4 cup sugar with 1/4 cup fresh lemon juice. This gives the juice a chance to melt the sugar.

After removing from oven, and while it's still hot, brush the top with the lemon juice mixture.

It's also tastey with honey butter on top. (Just melt butter with honey and brush on top.)
