Ingredients

The following ingredients have 8 Servings
  • 4 tbsp butter (softened)
  • 1 cup brown sugar
  • 1 egg
  • 2 tsp baking powder
  • 1 tsp salt
  • 2 cups all-purpose flour
  • 1 bottle (10oz of Maraschino Cherries)
  • Milk
  • 1/2 cup Walnuts (or any other nut you prefer)

Instruction

  • Preheat oven to 350 degrees F. Lightly grease an 8"x4" loaf pan, set aside.
  • In a medium bowl combine the butter and brown sugar, beat with a mixer until light and creamy. Add the egg and beat until combined.
  • In a separate bowl whisk together the flour, baking powder, and salt. Set aside.
  • Pour the juice from the cherries into a measuring cup, then fill the measuring cup with milk till it reaches the 1 cup mark.
  • Alternately add the flour mixture and cherry milk to the brown sugar mixture, use a whisk, and stir just until the flour is absorbed, do not over mix.
  • Chop cherries roughly. Fold the cherries and walnuts into the batter and pour into the prepared loaf pan.
  • Bake for 45-60 minutes or until a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean.
  • Let cool in pan for 10 minutes before removing to cool completely on wire rack. If you can, wrap and let sit over night for best results. Enjoy!
