Ingredients

The following ingredients have 8 Servings
  • ¾ cup all-purpose flour
  • ¾ cup whole wheat flour
  • 2 teaspoons baking powder
  • 1 teaspoon baking soda
  • ¼ teaspoon salt
  • 2 egg whites
  • 2 tablespoons sugar
  • 2 tablespoons vegetable oil
  • ¼ cup cherry preserves
  • 1 cup cranberry cherry juice
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • ½ teaspoon almond extract (optional)
  • 1 cup powdered sugar
  • 2 ½ tablespoons milk
  • 1 tablespoon unsweetened dark cocoa powder

Instruction

  • Preheat oven to 350 º F.
  • Lightly spray a 4x8-inch loaf pan with non-stick spray. Set aside.
  • In a large bowl, combine dry ingredients: both flours, baking powder, baking soda, and salt. Mix well.
  • In a smaller bowl, combine remaining wet bread ingredients (egg whites, sugar, oil, cherry preserves, juice, vanilla extract, and almond extract). Beat with a fork or whisk until well combined. Add wet ingredients to dry ingredients, mixing until all ingredients are moistened. Pour into prepared pan.
  • Bake 30-35 minutes, or until a wooden toothpick inserted in the center of the bread comes out clean.
  • Cool in pan 5 minutes, then transfer to a rack to finish cooling.
  • Make dark chocolate icing:
  • Mix powdered sugar, milk, and cocoa together until smooth.
  • With the bread still on the cooling rack, drizzle the glaze over the cooled bread, or pour over the top, using as much or as little as you like.
