Instructions:
  1. Step 1: Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C).
  2. Step 2: Grease a standard loaf pan with oil or line it with parchment paper.
  3. Step 3: In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the sugar and oil until well combined. Add the eggs, vanilla extract, almond extract, and milk. Whisk until smooth and creamy.
  4. Step 4: In another bowl, sift together the flour, baking powder, salt, and poppy seeds.
  5. Step 5: Gradually fold the dry ingredients into the wet mixture using a spatula.
  6. Step 6: Transfer the batter into the prepared loaf pan, smoothing the top.
  7. Step 7: Place in the preheated oven and bake for 50-60 minutes, or until a toothpick comes out clean.
  8. Step 8: Once baked, cool in the pan for 10 minutes, then transfer to a cooling rack.
  9. Step 9: Prepare the glaze by mixing powdered sugar with milk until desired consistency. Drizzle over the cooled bread.
