Vanilla, Cherry & Choc Chip Loaf

[takayanagi]

I'm going a bit cherry mad this July! In this recipe I used cherries that I pitted and froze. Often when cherries are in season, you tend to get a good deal. That of course means that I end up buying far more cherries than anyone in the house can possibly eat. I often pitt the excess cherries and freeze them. They will keep quite happily in the freezer for a couple of months. I often take them out the freezer and put them straight into the batter. And its not just cherries. I do the same with raspberries, blueberries etc.

Ingredients:

• 4oz Butter
• 4oz Caster Sugar
• 4oz Self Rising Flour(sieved)
• 2 Eggs
• 2oz Choc Chips
• 2oz Cherries

5. Bake in loaf tin for 30-35 mins
6. Leave to cool completely before cutting (i didn't!)
