Cooking Instructions
Follow our step-by-step guide on how to make Delicious Cherry Loaf Bread.
Step 1
Start by preheating your oven to a cozy 325°F (165°C). This will ensure your cherry loaf bakes evenly and comes out perfectly golden.
Step 2
In a mixing bowl, whisk together the beaten eggs, vegetable shortening, milk, cherry juice, and vanilla extract until everything is well blended. Set this delightful mixture aside for a moment.
Step 3
In a separate large bowl, combine the all-purpose flour, white sugar, baking powder, and a pinch of salt. Create a well in the center of this dry mixture, inviting the wet ingredients to join in.
Step 4
Pour the cherry juice mixture into the well you've created in the flour mixture. Stir gently until just combined; be careful not to overmix. Now, fold in those luscious maraschino cherries, letting their sweetness shine through the batter.
Step 5
Pour the batter into a greased loaf pan, spreading it evenly. Pop it into your preheated oven and bake for about 1 hour, or until the top is golden and springs back when lightly pressed. The aroma will fill your kitchen, making it hard to wait!
Step 6
Once baked, allow the cherry loaf to cool completely on a wire rack. This step is crucial for achieving the perfect texture. Once cooled, slice it up and enjoy!
How to Serve
Serve slices of this cherry loaf bread warm or at room temperature. It pairs wonderfully with a cup of tea or coffee, making it a delightful treat for any time of day!
How to Store
Store any leftover cherry loaf bread in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 3 days. For longer storage, wrap it tightly in plastic wrap and freeze for up to 3 months. Just thaw before serving!
