Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 2 cups all-purpose flour
- 1 cup granulated sugar
- 2 teaspoons baking powder
- 0.5 teaspoons salt
- 0.5 cups unsalted butter, melted
- 0.75 cups milk
- 1 large egg
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 0.75 cups chopped nuts (e.g. walnuts, pecans)
- 0.75 cups chopped dried cherries
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and grease a 9x5-inch loaf pan or line it with parchment paper.
In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the all-purpose flour, granulated sugar, baking powder, and salt until well combined.
In a separate bowl, whisk together the melted butter, milk, egg, and vanilla extract until smooth.
Gradually pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients, stirring gently until just combined. Be careful not to overmix.
Fold in the chopped nuts and dried cherries until evenly distributed throughout the batter.
Pour the batter into the prepared loaf pan and smooth the top with a spatula.
Bake in the preheated oven for 50-55 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center of the bread comes out clean.
Remove the bread from the oven and allow it to cool in the pan for 10 minutes, then transfer it to a wire rack to cool completely.
Slice and serve the Cherry Nut Bread warm or at room temperature. Store any leftovers tightly wrapped at room temperature for up to 3 days.
