Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 2 cups all-purpose flour
- 0.75 cups granulated sugar
- 1 teaspoon baking soda
- 0.5 teaspoons salt
- 1 cup crushed pineapple (with juice)
- 0.75 cups maraschino cherries (chopped)
- 2 pieces large eggs
- 0.5 cups vegetable oil
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
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 flour, sugar, baking soda, and salt until well combined.
In a separate medium bowl, whisk together the crushed pineapple (with its juice), chopped maraschino cherries, eggs, vegetable oil, and vanilla extract.
Pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients and gently fold together using a spatula. Mix until just combined, being careful not to overmix.
Transfer the batter into the prepared loaf pan, spreading it out evenly.
Bake in the preheated oven for 50-55 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.
Remove the bread 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.
Slice and serve your Quick Pineapple Cherry Bread, and enjoy!
