Equipment

  • 1 9x5-inch loaf pan

Ingredients
  

Bread
  • 2 cups all-purpose flour
  • ½ teaspoon salt
  • 2 teaspoons baking powder
  • ½ teaspoon baking soda
  • ½ cup salted butter, softened
  • ½ cup brown sugar, packed
  • ¼ cup granulated sugar
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 2 teaspoons almond extract
  • 2 large eggs
  • ½ cup sour cream, room temperature
  • ½ cup buttermilk, room temperature
  • 1 heaping cup fresh black cherries, pitted (or frozen, thaw before using)
  • ½ cup almonds, sliced or slivered
Almond Glaze
  • ½ cup powdered sugar
  • 1 tablespoon cream
  • ¼ teaspoon almond extract
  • ¼ teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 1 tablespoon butter, melted

Instructions
 

Bread
  • Preheat the oven to 350°F. Grease the pan with butter.
  • Mix the flour, salt, baking powder, and soda in a medium-sized bowl.
  • In a mixing bowl, beat the butter, sugars, vanilla, and almond extract until smooth and creamy. Blend in the eggs, one at a time. Stir in the sour cream. Add the flour mixture and buttermilk, alternating between them, ending with the flour.
  • Rough chop the cherries. Place them into a small bowl; sprinkle 1 tablespoon of flour over them and stir to coat all the cherries.
  • Stir the cherries and almonds into the batter. Stir just until they are incorporated. Do not overmix the batter.
  • Bake for 45-55 minutes or until the bread is brown and an inserted toothpick comes out clean or with crumbs. Check the bread after 35 minutes. If it is brown enough, place a sheet of aluminum foil sprayed with cooking spray over the top to prevent further browning. After baking, cool the bread in the pan for 10 minutes. Run a knife between the sides of the bread and the pan. Turn out on a cooling rack.
Almond Glaze
  • Place all of the ingredients into a bowl. Stir until smooth. If too thick, add more cream. Drizzle over the cooled bread.
