Scale
- 1 1/2 cups (180 g) all-purpose flour
- 3/4 cups (150 g) granulated sugar
- 1/2 teaspoon (2.5 g) salt
- 2 teaspoons (10 g) baking powder
- 1/3 cups (80 ml) vegetable oil
- 1 large egg
- 1/2 cups (120 ml) milk
- 1 teaspoon (5 ml) vanilla extract
- 1 1/2 teaspoons (7.5 ml) almond extract
- 1 cups (150 g) cherries, coarsely chopped and patted dry
Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 400°F (204°C).
- Grease a standard-size loaf pan and set it aside.
- In a large bowl, combine the all-purpose flour, granulated sugar, salt, and baking powder. Gently fold in the chopped and patted dry cherries.
- In another bowl, whisk together the large egg, vegetable oil, milk, vanilla extract, and almond extract until well combined.
- Pour the wet ingredients into the bowl of dry ingredients. Stir gently until just moistened.
- Pour the batter into the greased loaf pan, spreading it out evenly.
- Bake in the preheated oven for 35-40 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center of the bread comes out clean.
- Allow the bread to cool in the pan for about 10 minutes.
- Transfer to a wire rack to cool completely before slicing.
Notes
- For a more intense almond flavor, toast the almonds lightly before adding them to the batter.
- If fresh cherries are unavailable, you can substitute 1 cup of frozen cherries (thawed and patted dry).
- Wrap cooled bread tightly in plastic wrap and then foil for optimal freshness, storing at room temperature up to 3 days.
