5. Gradually fold the dry ingredients into the wet ingredients, mixing just until combined.
6. Gently fold in the chopped cherries and almonds.
7. Pour the batter into the prepared loaf pan and bake for 50-60 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean.

– For a sweeter bread, you can increase the sugar to 1 cup.
– Substitute any type of fresh or frozen fruit for the cherries, such as blueberries or raspberries.
– Toast the almonds beforehand for an extra crunch.
