If you're tired of eating the same bread every 10 days, try this one!
Ingredients:
1 1/2 cups amish starter (see easy friendship bread (amish bread) starter)
1 1/2 cups flour
2 cups sugar
1/2 cup orange juice
3 eggs
1 cup oil (or 1/2 cup oil, 1/2 cup applesauce)
1/2 teaspoon baking soda
1/2 teaspoon almond extract
2 1/2 teaspoons cinnamon
1 cup dried cherries
Directions:
1. Preheat the oven to 325’.
2. To the batter add 3 eggs, 1-1/2 tsp baking powder, 1 cup oil (or 1/2 oil & 1/2 applesauce), 1/2 tsp baking soda, 1/2 cup orange juice, 1/2 tsp almond extract, 1 cup sugar, 2 cups flour, 1/2 tsp salt, 1 large box vanilla instant pudding, 2 tsp cinnamon, 1 cup cherries.
3. Note: It is easier to mix if you combine the dry ingredients (except for sugar and pudding) in another bowl then add it slowly to the batter.
4. Grease bottom and sides of 2 large loaf pans or spray with Pam. Mix 1/2 cup sugar and 1-1/2 tsp cinnamon in a small bowl. Dust the insides of each of the pans with half of the mixture, making sure to cover the bottom and sides well.
5. Pour batter evenly into the 2 pans and sprinkle with remaining sugar mixture over top of the batter.
6. Bake for approximately 1 hour (until toothpick comes out clean.) Cool until the bread loosens from the pan easily. Turn onto serving dish. May be served warm or cold. Enjoy.
