Time 1h5m

Number Of Ingredients 14

3/4 cup granulated sugar (150 grams)
1/2 cup 2% milk
1/2 cup canola oil ((or vegetable or melted coconut oil))
1 large egg
1 teaspoon almond extract* ((or vanilla extract))
2 cups all-purpose flour (260 grams)
1 teaspoon baking powder
1/2 teaspoon baking soda
1/2 teaspoon salt
2 jars maraschino cherries** ((10 ounces each))
1 cup powdered sugar
1 tablespoon melted butter
2 1/2 tablespoons maraschino cherry juice
1/2 teaspoon almond extract

Steps:

  • Preheat the oven to 350ºF. Spray a 9"x5" loaf pan with cooking spray, or grease with shortening, then dust with flour.
  • In a medium bowl, stir together the sugar, milk, oil, egg and almond extract.
  • In a separate bowl, combine the flour, baking powder, baking soda and salt. Add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients and stir until just combined.
  • Drain the maraschino cherries, reserving the juice for the glaze. Coarsely chop the cherries in a food processor or with a knife. Gently fold the cherries into the batter.
  • Pour the bread batter into the prepared pan. Bake for 50-55 minutes***. A toothpick inserted in the center of the bread should come out clean. Allow the bread to cool for 10 minutes, then remove the bread to a wire rack to cool completely.
  • To make the glaze, combine the powdered sugar, melted butter, cherry juice and almond extract in a small bowl. Whisk until it is smooth.
  • Once the bread is cool, spread the glaze on top of the bread. If you spread the glaze on while the bread is still warm, it will melt and run off.
  • Slice and serve. Store any leftovers at room temperature in an airtight container. The bread freezes well, too.

I found this on Pinterest under a pound cake but renamed it to a bread. That way I can make two and freeze one or make a pan of mini breads for giving as gifts. This is yummy and we put butter on the slices with our coffee. You may use a bundt pan if you want to.

3/4 cup walnuts (chopped) or 3/4 cup pecans (chopped)

  • Put batter into two loaf pans, or into a bundt pan if you want a cake.
