Sometimes you just want something that tastes “normal” and resembles something that you could purchase at Starbucks. So, I formally give you my modification of an almond poppyseed pound cake with an almond glaze, modified from a recipe I found on Allrecipes.com!

Pound Cake:
1 1/2 c. gluten free flour blend (I used this one: http://amzn.to/TjXoyb)
1/2 tsp. baking soda
1/2 tsp. salt
1 c. sugar
2 eggs or 2 Tbs. flax meal mixed into 6 Tbs. warm water; let set to congeal
1 1/2 tsp. almond extract
1/2 c. oil
1 6-8 oz plain yogurt, can use dairy-free
3 Tbs. poppyseeds

Glaze:
2 c. powdered sugar
1 Tbs. butter or nondairy butter
1 tsp. almond extract
2-3 Tbs. hot water, or enough to reach desired consistency

Directions:
1. Preheat oven to 350 and grease a 9×5 loaf pan.
2. Mix dry ingredients in a stand mixer and slowly add in all wet ingredients. Once ingredients are all mixed in, beat on medium for about 3 minutes; the batter will be stiff.
3. Scrape batter into the loaf pan and smooth top.
4. Bake for 50-60 minutes or until a toothpick comes out clean when inserted into the loaf.
5. Remove loaf from pan when cooked. Allow to cool on a cookie rack for a few minutes.
6. Whisk all glaze ingredients together and pour evenly over loaf; allow glaze to set.
7. Try to eat just one piece. If you are successful, store remaining pieces in an airtight container in the refrigerator.
