-
Soak the cherries in the Marsala wine.
-
In the processor bowl fitted with steel blade, combine flour, sugar, salt, yeast, and nutmeg. Pulse to mix.
-
Cut butter into pieces and arrange on top. Pulse to blend so that it almost disappears.
-
In a glass measure, combine the milk and water. Microwave on high about 40 seconds.
-
With a fork, whisk in the vanilla, eggs, and egg yolks.
-
With the processor motor running, drizzle the liquids very slowly into the flour mixture. Process for 60 seconds.
-
Add orange zest and pulse to mix.
-
Transfer to a large glass mixing bowl and cover loosely with plastic wrap.
-
To use the microwave for bread rising, place an 8-ounce glass of water in the back of the microwave. Lower the microwave to low power.
-
Place the dough in the microwave. Heat on low for 3 minutes, rest for 3 minutes, heat on low for 3 minutes longer, then rest for 6 minutes, or until the batter has risen to double in bulk and is bubbly and light. Alternatively, let the dough rise in a warm draft-free place for about 45 to 60 minutes.
-
When dough has doubled in bulk, stir the batter down, then stir in the cherry mixture, nuts, and candied pineapple until well distributed.
-
Grease generously and lightly flour two 1-pound coffee cans. Cut a parchment or wax paper circle to fit the bottom of each can, add it, dusting and flouring it as well.
-
Spoon the batter into the cans, filling about halfway. Press down slightly.
-
Let rise in a warm, draft-free place until nearly doubled in bulk, about 30 minutes.
-
Meanwhile, preheat oven to 325 degrees F.
-
Just before popping it in the oven, cut an X in the tops of the loaves with a razor. Italian bakers put a blob of butter into the cut.
-
Bake at 325 degrees F for 1 hour, or until evenly browned and a skewer stuck in the center comes out clean.
-
Remove immediately to a rack to cool. After 15 minutes, slide the cakes out of the pans and lay them on their sides to continue cooling.
-
Dust with powdered sugar while warm. When cooled, wrap in plastic to store.
