Ingredients
  • 1 3/4 cup All purpose flour
  • 2 teaspoon Baking powder
  • 1/2 teaspoon Salt
  • 1/4 teaspoon Nutmeg
Directions
  1. 1
    Preheat oven to 350ðF (175ðC). Grease a 5x9 inch loaf pan with butter and line with parchment paper if desired.
  2. 2
    Sift the all-purpose flour into a large bowl. Measure carefully and sift again with the baking powder, salt, and nutmeg. Set aside.
  3. 3
    In a medium bowl, cream the butter and sugar together until light and fluffy.
  4. 4
    Beat in the egg yolks one at a time, followed by the vanilla extract. Mix until well combined.
  5. 5
    Alternately add the flour mixture and milk to the butter mixture, beginning and ending with the flour. Beat just until smooth after each addition.
  6. 6
    In a separate clean bowl, beat the egg whites until stiff peaks form.
  7. 7
    Gently fold one-third of the egg whites into the batter to lighten it, then fold in the remaining whites until no white streaks remain.
  8. 8
    Sprinkle half of the reserved flour over the batter, then scatter the halved glazed cherries evenly over the top.
  9. 9
    Sprinkle the remaining flour over the cherries and gently fold everything together until just combined. Be careful not to overmix.
  10. 10
    Pour the batter into the prepared loaf pan and smooth the top.
  11. 11
    Bake for 1 to 1 1/2 hours, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.
  12. 12
    Allow the cake to cool in the pan for 10 minutes before transferring to a wire rack to cool completely.
