How to Make Pistachio Cherry Bread
Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C).
Cream together the softened butter and sugar in a large bowl until light and fluffy.
Add the eggs one at a time, mixing well after each addition.
Stir in the milk and vanilla extract.
Combine flour, baking powder, and salt in another bowl.
Gradually add the dry mixture to the wet mixture, stirring gently until just combined.
Fold in the chopped pistachios and dried cherries.
Pour the batter into a greased loaf pan, smoothing the top with a spatula.
Bake for 50-60 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.
Let cool in the pan for a few minutes before transferring to a wire rack.
Optional: Dust with powdered sugar before serving for a touch of sweetness!
