Ingredients
- 3/4 cup granulated sugar
- 3/4 cup milk
- 1/2 cup oil
- 2 large eggs
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract (or almond extract)
- few drops of green food coloring
- 2 cups all-purpose flour
- 2 teaspoons baking powder
- 1/4 teaspoon salt
- 8 ounces green candied cherries
- 12 Maraschino cherries (drained and dried)
Glaze:
- 1 cup powdered sugar
- 1 tablespoon melted butter
- 2-3 tablespoons heavy cream (or milk)
- 1/2 teaspoon almond extract
- Drop of green food coloring
- Red heart sprinkles
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 350 degrees.
- In a medium bowl, stir together the sugar, milk, oil, egg, vanilla and food coloring. In a separate bowl, combine the flour, baking powder and salt. Add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients and stir until just combined.
- Coarsely chop the green cherries in a food processor or with a knife. Gently fold the cherries into the batter.
- Pour the bread batter into a well greased 9"x5" bread pan.
- Push the drained and dried maraschino cherries into the batter in a line about 1.5" from the left side of the pan. Use a knife to spread the batter over the cherries.
- Bake at 350 degrees for 50-55 minutes. A toothpick inserted in the center of the bread should come out clean. Allow the bread to cool for 10 minutes, then remove the bread to a wire rack to cool completely.
- To make the glaze, combine the powdered sugar, melted butter, cream, almond extract and food color in a small bowl. Mix until it is smooth.
- Once the bread is cool, spread the glaze on top of the bread. Sprinkle with red candy hearts or red sprinkles. Slice and serve. Freezes well!
Notes
- *I often add an extra teaspoon of vanilla or almond extract to the bread batter (along with the wet ingredients) for an extra boost of flavor. I do this especially if I'm not putting the glaze on top. The bread has the most flavor when you add the glaze!
- *Many maraschino cherry brands come without red dye in the cherries. If you pick up a jar like this, your hearts will not be red. If you want red hearts, be sure that the cherries you use actually have red coloring in it.
- **The calories shown are based on the bread being cut into 10 pieces (and all of the frosting used), with 1 serving being 1 slice of bread. Since different brands of ingredients have different nutritional information, the calories shown are just an estimate.
