Method
Preheat the oven to 350°F (350°F) and position a rack in the center of the oven.
Grease a 9x5-inch loaf pan with butter or cooking spray and set it aside.
In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the flour, granulated sugar, and salt until well combined.
In a separate bowl, whisk together the eggs, milk, and melted butter until smooth.
Add the wet ingredients to the dry ingredients and stir until just combined. Do not overmix.
Kitchen notes · Added by ReelsMeals: The batter is just combined. Stop stirring once no dry flour remains to avoid overmixing.
Gently fold in the chopped cherries and sliced almonds.
Kitchen notes · Added by ReelsMeals: The fruit and almonds are distributed through the batter. Fold gently to keep the batter from becoming dense.
Pour the batter into the prepared loaf pan and smooth the top with a spatula.
Bake for 45-50 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center of the bread comes out clean.
Kitchen notes · Added by ReelsMeals: A toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean. Check the center before removing the loaf from the oven.
Remove the bread from the oven and let it cool in the pan for 10 minutes.
Transfer the bread to a wire rack to cool completely.
