Ingredients

• 2 cups all-purpose flour
• 2 teaspoons baking powder
• 0.5 teaspoons salt
• 0.75 cups granulated sugar
• 0.5 cups unsalted butter, melted
• 0.5 cups milk
• 2 large eggs
• 1 teaspoons vanilla extract
• 1 cups sour cherries, pitted and chopped
• 0.5 cups powdered sugar (for optional glaze)
• 1 tablespoons milk (for optional 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 all-purpose flour, baking powder, salt, and granulated sugar.

Step 3

In a separate bowl, combine the melted butter, milk, eggs, and vanilla extract. Whisk until smooth.

Step 4

Gradually pour the wet mixture into the dry ingredients, stirring gently until just combined. Be careful not to overmix.

Step 5

Fold in the chopped sour cherries, ensuring they are evenly distributed throughout the batter.

Step 6

Pour the batter into the prepared loaf pan, smoothing the top with a spatula.

Step 7

Bake in the preheated oven for 50-55 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.

Step 8

Remove the bread from the oven and let it cool in the pan for 10 minutes. Then transfer it to a wire rack to cool completely.

Step 9

For an optional glaze, mix powdered sugar with 1 tablespoon of milk until smooth. Drizzle it over the cooled bread before slicing.

Step 10

Slice and serve your Sour Cherry Tea Bread with your favorite tea or coffee.
