Ingredients
- 1 cup maraschino cherries, chopped
- 2 cups all-purpose flour
- 3/4 cup sugar
- 2 tsp baking powder
- 1/2 tsp baking soda
- 1/4 tsp salt
- 1 tsp vanilla extract
- 1/2 cup milk
- 1/2 cup butter, melted
- 1 large egg
- 1/2 tsp almond extract (optional)
Notes
Cooking Steps:
- Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease and flour a loaf pan.
- Prepare cherries: Drain the maraschino cherries, chop them, and set them aside. You can toss them in a little flour to prevent them from sinking to the bottom while baking.
- Dry ingredients: In a large bowl, whisk together the flour, sugar, baking powder, baking soda, and salt.
- Wet ingredients: In another bowl, combine the milk, melted butter, egg, vanilla extract, and almond extract (if using).
- Combine: Gradually add the wet ingredients to the dry ingredients, stirring until just combined. Gently fold in the chopped cherries.
- Bake: Pour the batter into the prepared loaf pan and bake for 45-50 minutes or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.
- Cool: Let the bread cool in the pan for about 10 minutes before transferring it to a wire rack to cool completely.
