Ingredients
- 1 ¾ cups all-purpose flour divided
- ½ teaspoon baking powder
- ½ teaspoon salt
- 8 tablespoons 1 stick unsalted butter, softened
- 1 ⅓ cups granulated sugar
- 2 tablespoons grated lemon zest
- 3 large eggs
- ¼ cup 2% milk
- 3 teaspoons fresh lemon juice
- 1 cup dried cherries
The Glaze:
- ¾ cup powdered confectioner’s sugar
- 4 ½ teaspoons fresh lemon juice
- ¾ teaspoon grated lemon zest
- Pinch salt
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 325 degrees F. Grease a 8 ½- by 4 ½-inch loaf pan with butter or cooking spray.
- In a medium bowl, whisk together 1 ½ cups plus 2 tablespoons flour, baking powder and salt. In the bowl of a stand mixer (or a large bowl, using a hand mixer) set on a medium speed, beat together butter, sugar and lemon zest until light and fluffy, 4 to 5 minutes. Add eggs, one at a time, beating to combine after each addition.
- Turn the mixer to low and gradually add the flour mixture, milk and lemon juice. Beat until just combined. Take care not to overbeat or the bread will be tough.
- In a small bowl, toss the dried cherries with the remaining 2 tablespoons flour, and gently mix into the batter. Pour the batter into prepared pan and level with a spatula.
- Bake until a toothpick inserted in the center comes out with only a few crumbs attached, 55 to 65 minutes. Let the bread sit in the pan for 10 minutes. Run a knife around the outside and turn the pan upside down to release the bread. Let cool on a wire rack for 1 hour, then glaze. Slice and serve.
The Glaze:
- In a medium bowl, whisk together powdered sugar, lemon juice and zest, and salt until combined.
