Excellent! Yes delicate and buttery and so delicious, just what I expect from an Andypandy recipe. The flavorings so compliment making this an extraordinary cherry loaf- a loaf that will be used for coffee hours, tea and bake sales and when having friends in for coffee and dessert. Yes it's that good! Have always said there is nothing like a 'grandma recipe' and thank you for sharing one of yours.
