Vanilla Poppy Seed Loaf

I was looking for something sweet to make the other morning and came across a recipe for Poppy Seed Bread on The Girl That Ate Everything Blog. Her pictures were really wonderful.

The original recipe was almond flavoured which I don't really care for. So I just increased the vanilla. The recipe also called for "butter" flavouring so I took care of that by using melted butter for most of the oil.  I also changed the glaze. 

The recipe, posted below has the changes I made. But you can find the original recipe here.
