Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 2.5 cups all-purpose flour
- 1 cup granulated sugar
- 2 teaspoons baking powder
- 0.5 teaspoons salt
- 1 cup plain yogurt
- 0.5 cup vegetable oil
- 2 large eggs
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1.5 cups pitted and chopped cherries
- 2 tablespoons all-purpose flour (for coating cherries)
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease and lightly flour a 9x5-inch loaf pan, or line it with parchment paper for easy removal.
In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the all-purpose flour, granulated sugar, baking powder, and salt.
In a separate bowl, mix the yogurt, vegetable oil, eggs, and vanilla extract until smooth and well combined.
Pour the wet mixture into the dry ingredients. Stir gently until just combined, being careful not to overmix.
In another small bowl, toss the chopped cherries with the 2 tablespoons of flour until evenly coated. This step prevents the cherries from sinking to the bottom of the loaf during baking.
Gently fold the floured cherries into the batter until distributed evenly.
Pour the batter into the prepared loaf pan, spreading it out evenly.
Bake in the preheated oven for 55-60 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean. If the top begins to brown too quickly, tent it lightly with foil during the last 15 minutes of baking.
Once baked, remove the loaf from the oven and let it cool in the pan for 10 minutes. Then transfer it to a wire rack to cool completely before slicing and serving.
Enjoy your Cherry Yogurt Bread as a delightful treat for any time of the day!
