  • Cream together the softened butter and sugar in a mixing bowl until light and fluffy, about 2-3 minutes.
  • Add the eggs and vanilla extract, mixing well to combine.
  • Combine the flour, baking powder, baking soda, and salt in another bowl.
  • Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet mixture, mixing gently until just combined.
  • Fold in the chopped cherries and pistachios.
  • Pour in the milk and mix until the batter is smooth.
  • Transfer the batter into a greased loaf pan, smoothing the top gently.
  • Bake for 50-60 minutes or until a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean.
  • Cool the bread in the pan for about 10 minutes, then transfer it to a wire rack to cool completely before slicing.
