Glazed Maraschino Cherry Bread
Tastes of Lizzy T
Notes
This bread is amazing when served chilled. It really brings out the flavors.
Don't be afraid to add in an extra teaspoon of vanilla extract into the base. I did, and I think the recipe is better for it.
Ingredients
- Ingredients:
3/4 cup granulated sugar
1/2 cup milk
1/2 cup oil
1 large egg
1-2 teaspoon(s) vanilla extract (or almond extract)
2 cups all-purpose flour
2 teaspoons baking powder
1/4 teaspoon salt
2 jars maraschino cherries* (10 ounces each)
- Glaze:
2 cups powdered sugar
2 tablespoons melted butter
1/3 cup maraschino cherry juice
1/2 teaspoon almond extract
Directions
- Preheat your oven to 350 degrees.
- Mix sugar, milk, oil, egg, and vanilla.
- In a separate bowl, mix flour, baking powder, and salt.
- Combine the dry ingredients with the wet ingredients. Do not over mix.
- Drain and chop (I used a blender) your cherries. Make sure to keep the juice for the glaze.
- Add the cherries into your bread mix, folding in gently.
- Pour your batter into a well buttered loaf pan. I used mini loaves because I found them to be cuter.
- Bake for 45-50 minutes if using a full-size loaf pan, and 35-40 if using mini loaves.
- Test with a knife after baking to make sure it comes out clean.
- Do not overbake. It's best to use shorter baking times and add time as needed.
- Once bread is finished baking, allow to cool completely.
- As your bread cools, you can begin the glaze.
- Combine powdered sugar, melted butter, cherry juice, and almond extract. Mix glaze until smooth and silky.
- When bread is fully cooled, top with glaze.
- Chill and enjoy!
