Ingredients

For the bread:
  • ¾ cup unsalted butter softened
  • 1 ½ cup granulated sugar
  • 3 large eggs
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 3 cups all-purpose flour
  • 2 teaspoons baking powder
  • 1 ½ teaspoon baking soda
  • ½ teaspoon kosher salt
  • 2 limes zested (save juice)
  • 1 ½ cup sour cream
  • 1 can 21 ounce cherry pie filling
For the glaze:
  • 3 cups powdered sugar
  • 3 limes juiced
  • 1 lime zested
  • 1 teaspoon granulated sugar

Instructions

    Cup of Yum
  1. In a large bowl, beat butter and sugar together. Add eggs, one at a time. Beat in vanilla. Add vlour, baking powder, baking soda, salt and lime zest. Slowly beat in sour cream.
  2. Grease two 9inch loaf pans generously. Spoon over half the batter evenly to each pan. Divide pie filling evenly between pans, spooning it over the batter. Top with the remaining bread batter. It's okay if it doesn't cover the cherry filling completely.
  3. Bake in a 350 degree oven for 60-70 minutes. Remove and cool on a wire rack for 10 minutes. Then remove from pan and cool completely before adding glaze.
  4. For the glaze, whisk the powdered sugar with lime juice until smooth. Pour over tops of bread. In a small bowl, combine the lime zest with granulated sugar until crumbly. Sprinkle over glaze. Allow to set about 15-20 minutes before wrapping. ENJOY.

Notes

  • I wrap up the second loaf in foil then place it inside a large gallon sized ziploc bag. I usually toss them in there with the glaze on and it tastes fresh and delicious after thawing.
  • A note about the glaze: If you want the bread to LOOK pretty after some time in the freezer, then wait to add the glaze until you’re ready to serve. Thawed glaze tasted fine but doesn’t look nearly as pretty. It’ll turn almost clear after it’s been frozen.
