Ingredients

Scale

Dry Ingredients

  • 1 cup all-purpose flour
  • 1 cup almond flour
  • 1 teaspoon baking powder
  • 1/4 teaspoon salt

Wet Ingredients

  • 2 large eggs
  • 3/4 cup sugar
  • 1/3 cup unsalted butter, softened (or oil)
  • 1 teaspoon almond extract

Fruit

  • 1 cup fresh or frozen cherries, pitted and halved

Instructions

  1. Prepare Your Ingredients: Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and grease or line a loaf pan with parchment paper. If using fresh cherries, wash and pit them; if frozen, thaw and pat dry. Measure all ingredients accurately.
  2. Mix Dry Ingredients: In a large bowl, whisk together the all-purpose flour, almond flour, baking powder, and salt to ensure even distribution.
  3. Cream Together Wet Ingredients: In a separate bowl, beat the eggs with sugar until pale and fluffy. Add softened butter or oil and almond extract, mixing until smooth and creamy.
  4. Combine Dry and Wet Ingredients: Gently fold the dry ingredients into the wet mixture, stirring just until combined to keep the bread tender.
  5. Fold in Cherries: Carefully incorporate the cherries into the batter, distributing them evenly without crushing to preserve juicy pockets.
  6. Bake Until Golden: Pour the batter into the prepared loaf pan and bake for 50-60 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean. Let the bread cool before slicing to maintain its shape and texture.

Notes

  • Use room temperature ingredients for smoother mixing and better texture.
  • Don’t skip the almond extract, it enhances the nutty flavor and complements the cherries.
  • If using frozen cherries, thaw and pat dry to avoid soggy batter.
  • Check oven temperature with a thermometer for even baking.
  • Start testing doneness 10 minutes before end of baking time to prevent overbaking.
