Ingredients
Instructions
- Beat together the cake mix, eggs, oil, pudding mix, warm water, and poppy seed until well combined.
- Grease and flour 2 loaf pans or 3 medium-sized pans.
- Pour the batter into the prepared pans.
- Bake at 325°F for 40 to 45 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.
- Allow to cool before removing from pans.
Tips & Substitutions
For a richer flavor, consider adding a teaspoon of vanilla extract to the batter. You can substitute the chopped nuts with chocolate chips for a sweeter variation. If you don't have poppy seeds, sesame seeds can work as a substitute. Make sure to mix the batter until just combined to avoid a dense bread.
Serving Suggestions
This bread is delicious on its own but can be served with a dollop of whipped cream or a scoop of ice cream for a delightful dessert. It pairs beautifully with a cup of coffee or tea. For a complete meal, serve alongside a light salad or with a slice of American recipes like Fort Worth Corn Casserole.
Storage & Reheating
Store any leftover Butter Brickle Bread in an airtight container at room temperature for up to three days. For longer storage, wrap slices in plastic wrap and freeze for up to three months. To reheat, simply thaw at room temperature or microwave for a few seconds until warm.
