How to Make Cherry Friendship Bread
- Preheat your oven to 325°F (160°C).
- In a large bowl, combine 3 large eggs, 1 1/2 teaspoons baking powder, 1 cup vegetable oil, 1 teaspoon baking soda, 1/2 cup orange juice, 1 teaspoon almond extract, 1 cup granulated sugar, 2 cups all-purpose flour, 1 teaspoon salt, 1 (5.9 ounce) package instant vanilla pudding mix, and 2 teaspoons ground cinnamon. Gently fold in 1 cup of maraschino cherries, reserving any juice.
- Grease and flour two 9x5 inch loaf pans, or spray with non-stick cooking spray.
- In a small bowl, mix 1/2 cup granulated sugar and 1 1/2 teaspoons ground cinnamon.
- Sprinkle half of the cinnamon-sugar mixture evenly into each prepared loaf pan, coating the bottom and sides.
- Divide the batter evenly between the two prepared loaf pans. Sprinkle the remaining cinnamon-sugar mixture over the top of each loaf.
- Bake for approximately 75 minutes, or until a wooden skewer inserted into the center comes out clean. Let cool in the pans for 10 minutes before inverting onto a wire rack to cool completely.
- Once cooled, slice and serve. Enjoy warm or at room temperature!
