Ingredients
- 2 cups all-purpose flour
- 1 tsp baking soda
- ⅛ tsp salt
- ¾ cup granulated sugar
- ¼ cup brown sugar
- 1 egg large
- 1 cup buttermilk room temperature
- ⅓ cup vegetable oil
- 1 tsp REAL Vanilla Extract
- 2 tsp almond extract
- 16- ounce jar of maraschino cherries chopped (save the juice)
For the Glaze:
- ½ cup powdered sugar
- ½ tsp maraschino cherry juice
- 1 tbsp milk
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 350°F and grease a 9x5" loaf pan.
- In a large mixing bowl, whisk together flour, baking soda, and salt.
- In a diffrent mixing bowl, beat together the egg, granulated sugar, and brown sugar until well combined. Add buttermilk, oil, vanilla, and almond extract and mix until they are just incorporated.
- Gradually pour the wet ingredients into the bowl of dry ingredients, mixing as you go.
- Fold in chopped maraschino cherries with a spatula or wooden spoon.
- Pour batter into your prepared loaf pan and bake for 55-60 minutes -- or until a toothpick inserted in the middle comes out clean. Turn bread halfway through baking so it browns evenly.
