Simple Fruit Loaf Cake (cycle those canned goods!)

 Using this to cycle through my newly-expired canned fruits

INGREDIENTS

• 1 can fruit (I used sweet dark cherries), drained (and rinsed, if desired)
• 1.5c AP flour
• .5c almond flour
• 2t baking powder
• .5t sea salt
• .5c sugar (next time I’ll reduce to 1/3c)
• .5c butter (at room temp)
• 3 large eggs
• .5c buttermilk (or milk+lemon juice for the DIY version)
• 1t vanilla extract

INSTRUCTIONS

Preheat oven to 350*

Line loaf pan with parchment paper, spray lightly with oil

In medium bowl, combine flour, salt, and baking powder; set aside.

In mixing bowl, cream sugar and butter. Once light and fluffy, add eggs one at a time. When well mixed, add buttermilk and vanilla. 

Add in flour mix, one third at a time. Stir until just mixed in. 

Fold in fruit. Add batter to prepared pan.

Bake for 1 hour, or until an inserted toothpick comes out clean. 

Cool on wire rack. 

This is a simple, honest loaf cake. Nothing fancy, and a good way to cycle through canned goods. Will likely be making many variations of this in the future, hence the plans to reduce the sugar amount as low as I can get away with.
Made this on a day that T was having friends over to game, and all the guys enjoyed it.
