Number Of Ingredients 12

3/4 cup sugar
1/2 cup butter, softened
1 teaspoon vanilla
1 cup buttermilk
2 eggs
2 cups all-purpose flour
1 cup dried cherries, chopped
1 teaspoon grated lemon peel
1/2 teaspoon baking powder
1/2 teaspoon baking soda
1/2 teaspoon salt
1/2 teaspoon ground cardamom

Steps:

  • Heat oven to 350°F. Spray bottom only of 9x5- or 8x4-inch loaf pan with cooking spray. In large bowl, mix sugar and butter; beat until light and fluffy. Beat in vanilla. Add buttermilk and eggs; blend well. (Mixture will appear curdled.)
