Prep: 15 min | Bake: 50 min | Yield: 1 loaf
Ingredients
Bread
- 3/4 cup granulated sugar
- 1/2 cup milk
- 1/2 cup vegetable oil
- 1 egg
- 2 cups all-purpose flour
- 2 teaspoons baking powder
- 1/4 teaspoon salt
- 2 (10 ounce) jars maraschino cherries
Glaze
- 2 cups powdered sugar
- 2 tablespoons melted butter
- 1/3 cup maraschino cherry juice
- 1/2 teaspoon almond extract
Instructions
- Heat the oven to 350 degrees F.
Bread
- In a medium bowl, stir together the sugar, milk, oil and egg.
- In a separate bowl, combine the flour, baking powder and salt.
- Add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients and stir until just combined.
- Drain the maraschino cherries, reserving the juice for the glaze. Coarsely chop the cherries in a food processor or with a knife. Gently fold the cherries into the batter.
- Pour the bread batter into a greased 9 x 5 inch bread pan.
- Bake for 50 to 55 minutes. A wooden pick 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.
Glaze
- Combine the powdered sugar, melted butter, cherry juice and almond extract in a small bowl. Mix until it is smooth.
- When the bread is cool, spread the glaze on top of the bread. Slice and serve. Freezes well!
