Ingredients
  • 8 ounces almond paste
  • ¼ cup unsalted butter, softened
  • 1 cup sugar
  • 3 large eggs
  • 1½ cups fresh pitted cherries
  • 3 cups all-purpose flour, divided
  • 4 teaspoons baking powder
  • ½ teaspoon salt
  • ¾ cup milk
Instructions
  1. Preheat oven to 350F.
  2. Grease and flour two 8-inch loaf pans.
  3. Toss cherries with 1 tablespoon of the flour and set aside.
  4. In the bowl of a stand mixer, mix the almond paste and butter until well combined. Add the sugar and beat until light and fluffy.
  5. Add the eggs, one at a time, and mix thoroughly after each addition.
  6. In a small bowl, stir together the remaining flour, baking powder and salt.
  7. With the stand mixer on low, add one third of the flour mixture, followed by half the milk. Repeat with remaining flour and milk, mixing well after each addition.
  8. Pour ¼ of the batter into each of the prepared pans and dot with half the cherries, pushing some of them into the batter a bit. Top each with half the remaining batter.
  9. Bake for 45-50 minutes or until a tester inserted in the center comes out clean.
  10. Remove from oven and allow to cool for 2 minutes, then invert onto a baking rack to cool completely.
