I'm back! I know it's been a long time since my last post. I've been super busy lately. This time of year always gets me inspired so I am committed to posting more regularly on here!
This loaf is super moist, and works with or without the cherries. I like the bit of crunch and sweetness the cherries add. I also love anything to do with gingerbread this time of year. This recipe is super easy, but it takes a long time in the oven to cook because it does not have eggs in it and the applesauce makes it so moist.
Ingredients:
1.5 Cups White Flour
1 tsp Baking Soda
2 tsp Cinnamon
1 tsp Nutmeg
1 tsp Pumpkin Pie Spice
2 1/3 tsp Ground Ginger
1 tsp Salt
1 Cup White Sugar
1/2 Cup Margarine
1 tsp Lemon or Orange Extract
1 Cup Apple sauce
Glacé Cherries, red and green
Directions:
1. Preheat your oven to 350 degrees and grease a loaf pan.
2. Combine all of the dry ingredients except the baking soda. Combine the margarine, and sugar in a mixer until fluffy. Then add the extract, baking soda, and apple sauce to the margarine/sugar mixture.. Slowly add the wet ingredients to the dry, and then fold in the cherries.
3. Pour the batter in the loaf pan and cook for 45 minutes, or until a toothpick comes out clean. I had to place some foil on the top of mine after about 40 minutes so the top wouldn't get too brown, but the inside would continue to cook through.
4. Add some cream cheese icing if available and, enjoy!
