Ingredients
  

The Bread

  • 2 cup all-purpose or gluten free flour
  • 1 cup granulated sugar
  • 1 cup buttermilk
  • 2 large eggs
  • 1/2 cup vegetable oil
  • 2 cups cherries pitted and halved
  • 1 1/2 tsp. baking powder

  • In a large bowl, combine the flour sugar, baking powder, baking soda, cinnamon and salt.
  • In a separate bowl, combine the eggs, buttermilk and oil.
  • Stir the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients.
  • Remove the pits from the cherries and slice them in half. Fold cherries into the batter. Pour batter into prepared pan.
