ALMOND MARASCHINO CHERRY NUT BREAD

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.

Time 1h20m

Yield 2 breads

Number Of Ingredients 16

Ingredients

1 cup butter (softened)
2 1/4 cups white sugar
6 eggs (added one at a time)
3 cups sifted flour (either cake or regular flour...I used regular)
1/2 teaspoon salt (scant if you use salted butter)
1/2 teaspoon baking soda
1 cup sour cream
1 teaspoon vanilla
1 teaspoon almond extract
3/4 cup maraschino cherry (packed and chopped)
3/4 cup walnuts (chopped) or 3/4 cup pecans (chopped)
glaze
2 cups powdered sugar
1 teaspoon vanilla
2 tablespoons butter (melted)
1 -2 teaspoon milk, to make the glaze the consistency you want to drizzle

Steps:

BREAD.
Cream butter--add sugar gradually and beat till light and fluffy.
Add eggs, one at a time beating after each.
Sift flour, salt, and soda and add alternately with the sour cream.
Add flavorings.
Chop the cherries; cover them with a paper towel and press a little to absorb some of the juice so the batter won't be red; chop the walnuts.
Add the cherries and walnuts by hand to the batter.
Grease the pans with butter and then spray with cooking spray.
Put batter into two loaf pans, or into a bundt pan if you want a cake.
Bake at 350 degrees -- loaf pans for about 1 hours and a bundt pan for about 1 hour and 20 minutes or till done -- watch carefully as I don't like them to burn.
Cool in pans for about 10 minutes and then remove and cool on rack.
GLAZE.
Mix till nice and smooth and drizzle over bread if you choose to.

Tips:

Use fresh, high-quality ingredients. This will make a big difference in the flavor of your bread.
Don't overmix the batter. Overmixing will make the bread tough.
Bake the bread until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean. This will ensure that the bread is cooked through.
Let the bread cool completely before slicing and serving. This will help the bread to hold its shape.
Enjoy your bread! Maraschino cherry nut bread is a delicious and versatile treat that can be enjoyed for breakfast, lunch, or dinner.
