Ingredients

• 2 cups All-purpose flour
• 0.75 cups Granulated sugar
• 1.5 teaspoons Baking powder
• 0.5 teaspoons Salt
• 2 large Eggs
• 0.5 cups Milk
• 0.25 cups Vegetable oil
• 1 teaspoons Vanilla extract
• 0.75 cups Maraschino cherries
• 3 tablespoons Maraschino cherry juice
• 3 drops Red food coloring (optional)
• 0.5 cups Powdered sugar
• 1 tablespoons Milk (for glaze)
• 0.5 teaspoons Vanilla extract (for glaze)

Directions

Step 1

Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and grease a 9x5-inch loaf pan or line it with parchment paper.

Step 2

In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the flour, granulated sugar, baking powder, and salt until well combined.

Step 3

In a separate bowl, beat the eggs, milk, vegetable oil, vanilla extract, and maraschino cherry juice. Stir in the red food coloring if you're using it for a brighter pink color.

Step 4

Chop the maraschino cherries into small pieces and fold them into the wet mixture.

Step 5

Gradually add the wet ingredients to the dry ingredients, stirring gently until just combined. Do not overmix as this can make the bread dense.

Step 6

Pour the batter into the prepared loaf pan and smooth the top with a spatula.

Step 7

Bake in the preheated oven for 45-50 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.

Step 8

Let the bread cool in the pan for 10 minutes, then transfer it to a wire rack to cool completely.

Step 9

To make the glaze, whisk together the powdered sugar, milk, and vanilla extract in a small bowl until smooth.

Step 10

Drizzle the glaze over the cooled bread, allowing it to drip down the sides.

Step 11

Slice and serve your Pink Cherry Bread. Enjoy!
