ingredients

1 ¹⁄₂ cups amish starter (see recipezaar.com/321840)
3 eggs
1 ¹⁄₂ teaspoons baking powder
1 cup oil (or 1/2 oil & 1/2 applesauce)
¹⁄₂ teaspoon baking soda
¹⁄₂ cup milk
¹⁄₂ teaspoon almond extract
1 cup sugar
2 cups flour
¹⁄₂ teaspoon salt
1 (8 ounce) box instant vanilla pudding (large size)
2 teaspoons cinnamon
1 (21 ounce) can tart red cherries, drained
1 cup nuts, chopped (optional)

directions

Preheat the oven to 325’.
To the remaining batter add eggs, baking powder, oil, ½ tsp baking soda, milk, almond extract, 1 cup sugar, flour, salt, pudding, 2 tsp cinnamon, nuts and cherries.
Note: It is easier to mix if you combine the dry ingredients (except for sugar and pudding) in another bowl then add it slowly to the batter.
Grease bottom and sides of 2 large loaf pans or spray with Pam. Mix ½ cup sugar and 1-1/2 tsp cinnamon in a small bowl. Dust the insides of each of the pans with half of the mixture, making sure to cover the bottom and sides well.
Pour batter evenly into the 2 pans and sprinkle with remaining sugar mixture over top of the batter.
Bake for approximately 1 hour (until toothpick comes out clean.) Cool until the bread loosens from the pan easily. Turn onto serving dish. May be served warm or cold. Enjoy.
