How to Make Cherry Almond Bread

  1. Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease and flour a 9x5 inch loaf pan.
  2. In a large bowl, cream together the butter and sugars until light and fluffy.
  3. Beat in the eggs one at a time, then stir in the vanilla.
  4. In a separate bowl, whisk together the flour, baking powder, baking soda, and salt.
  5. Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients, mixing until just combined.
  6. Stir in the maraschino cherry juice, chopped almonds, and cherries.
  7. Pour batter into the prepared loaf pan and bake for 50-60 minutes, or until a wooden skewer inserted into the center comes out clean.
  8. Let the bread cool in the pan for 10 minutes before transferring it to a wire rack to cool completely.
  9. While the bread is cooling, prepare the cream cheese frosting by beating together the cream cheese, butter, and powdered sugar until smooth and creamy. Add vanilla extract to taste.
  10. Once the bread is completely cool, frost the top with the cream cheese frosting and slice to serve.
