Notes
Loaf pan method:
Split batter between 2 greased small loaf pans (8×4 inches) and bake 35-40 minutes
Adding maraschino cherries to the batter (optional but fun!):
Drain ¾ cup maraschino cherries and pat dry with paper towel. Cut in half & gently fold in cherry pieces into the batter before pouring into Bundt or loaf pans. Great for Christmas (Grinch bread)!
