It was inevitable. I had to crack at some point. After an entire month of being dessert-free on Cookin' Canuck - well, there was that Carrot Ginger Cupcake incident on my birthday but, come on, a girl's gotta celebrate - I broke down and pulled out the baking pans. After all, it's been a month of Mushroom Caramelized Onion Salads, Yogurt Parfaits, and Turkey Meatball Sandwiches. My sugar levels were dropping dangerously low (snort).
Now, I could pretend that this lemon and dried cherry quick bread is an innocuous little breakfast treat, made relatively guilt-free by the addition of dried cherries, but I would be leading you down the butter and sugar-laden garden path. Let's just call a spatula a spatula. It is a cake. A tart, fruit-filled lemon cake with a glaze drizzled on top at the last minute. Was it worth the indulgence? My taste buds say yes. And my jeans? Well, I am choosing not to ask their opinion.
If you want a less indulgent breakfast option starring dried cherries, try my Pancakes in a Mug. A favorite with my boys!
Dried Cherry Cardamom Bread Recipe
In a medium bowl, whisk together 1 ½ cups plus 2 tablespoons flour, baking powder and salt. In the bowl of a stand mixer (or a large bowl, using a hand mixer) set on a medium speed, beat together butter, sugar and lemon zest until light and fluffy, 4 to 5 minutes. Add eggs, one at a time, beating to combine after each addition.
Turn the mixer to low and gradually add the flour mixture, milk and lemon juice. Beat until just combined. Take care not to overbeat or the bread will be tough.
In a small bowl, toss the dried cherries with the remaining 2 tablespoons flour, and gently mix into the batter. Pour the batter into prepared pan and level with a spatula.

Bake until a toothpick inserted in the center comes out with only a few crumbs attached, 55 to 65 minutes. Let the bread sit in the pan for 10 minutes. Run a knife around the outside and turn the pan upside down to release the bread. Let cool on a wire rack for 1 hour, then glaze.

It’s made with fresh cherries just like our Homemade Cherry Cake, but don’t worry – if you can’t find fresh, you can make this bread with dried cherries or even frozen cherries so you can make it all year round.
I love when I find fresh cherries at the store. The season is short (usually late spring to mid-summer), so it’s always special to buy a big batch and then use them to make all kinds of baked goods like quick bread, cakes, muffins, cherry crumb bars and this easy fresh cherry bread. Or why not try this Simple Yogurt Bread recipe if you have leftover yogurt in your fridge.
Well, that is if we can resist eating all of the cherries straight from the bag. It’s a good idea to hide them if you plan to bake with them. At our house, they will disappear in no time if they are left out.

Dried Cherry Bread Pudding
Fresh cherries: There are over 1000 varieties of cherries – so many I can’t name them all! The availability will depend on where you are from, so I suggest picking one that you enjoy eating. Some are sweeter, while others are more tart.
Frozen cherries: If you want to use frozen ones, thaw them first, drain the excess liquid, and pat them dry. You want them dry, so you don’t have extra liquid in your bread.
Dry cherries: Yes, you can even make dried cherry bread. Depending on how large they are, you might want to roughly chop them first. Also, you can add them straight to the batter, but if they are very chewy, I recommend soaking them first and then pat them dry. This will plump them up. You can do this in water or try a liqueur if you would like a boozy kick.
Cherry Bread Recipe
To test them: Mix a teaspoon of baking powder with a bit of hot water, if it bubbles then it’s ready to be used. For the baking soda, mix one teaspoon with a few drops of lemon juice or vinegar. It should produce bubbles.
Once you have your cherries, it’s time to make the bread. You will need to grease and flour a loaf pan and pre-heat the oven.
Mix the flour, sugar, baking powder, and salt with a whisk, add the chopped butter and mix to form a coarse crumbly mixture. Remove and set aside 3/4 of a cup of this mixture – you will use it for the crumble topping. In a separate bowl, whisk the milk, eggs, and vanilla.
Cherry And Golden Raisin Bread
Add the wet ingredients to the dry ingredients and mix just until combined. It’s okay if the batter is a little lumpy.
Fold in the cherries and pour the batter into the prepared pan. Sprinkle the topping over the top and bake the bread for about an hour.
Once the cherry bread is completely cool, wrap it tightly with plastic wrap, and it will keep at room temperature for up to three days.
