Ingredients

Ingredients

  • 1/2 cup (1 stick) unsalted butter, melted, plus more for pan

  • 2 1/2 cups all-purpose flour, (spooned and leveled), plus more for pan

  • 1 1/2 teaspoons baking powder

  • 3/4 teaspoon salt

  • 1/2 teaspoon baking soda

  • 1 1/2 cups granulated sugar

  • 1 cup sour cream

  • 2 large eggs

  • 1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract

  • 1 1/2 cups dried cherries (or dried cranberries)

  • 1 cup coarsely chopped pecans

  • 1/2 cup all-purpose flour, (spooned and leveled)

  • 1/2 cup packed light-brown sugar

  • 1/2 cup coarsely chopped pecans

  • 4 tablespoons (1/2 stick) cold unsalted butter, cut in small pieces

Directions

Preheat oven to 350 degrees. Butter and flour six mini loaf pans (each 5 3/4 by 3 inches, with a 2-cup capacity). Make streusel topping: In a bowl, mix streusel ingredients with fingertips until moist clumps form. Place in freezer.

Make cherry-pecan batter: In a medium bowl, whisk flour, baking powder, salt, and baking soda. In a large bowl, whisk butter, sugar, sour cream, eggs, and vanilla until smooth. Mix in dry ingredients until moistened. Fold in dried cherries and pecans.

Divide batter evenly among prepared pans; spread to fill corners. Place pans on a baking sheet. Bake 15 minutes, then remove from oven, and quickly sprinkle loaves with streusel topping.

Return loaves to oven; bake until golden and a toothpick inserted in center comes out with only a few moist crumbs attached, 20 to 25 minutes. Cool loaves 10 minutes in pans; turn out of pans, and cool completely, streusel side up, on a rack.

      Cook's Notes

Storing: Wrapped in plastic, the loaves will keep 3 to 4 days at room temperature, and up to 3 months in the freezer.

                Delicious.  Easy.  Smells awesome while baking.  I made these for gifts and everyone commented back on how wonderful these tasted.  I left off the struesel topping.

                This recipe is worth buying the mini-loaf pans if you don't already have them.

                I made these last year for Christmas gifts, but they never made it!  My family and I ended up eating all of them!  We will definitely try again this year, but make extra for us to enjoy.  This is a great recipe.

                I used this recipe to make 6 jumbo muffins instead. They tasted wonderful! I replaced the granulated sugar with splenda, swapped out the sour cream for 1 cup of plain nonfat yogurt, used only 1 cup of dried cherries (the extra half a cup is unnecessary), and used 1/4 cup melted butter and 1/4 cup applesauce in the muffin batter instead of a full 1/2 cup melted butter. I also reduced the streusel topping by half (I did not need all of it for the muffins). Slightly healthier and OH-SO-GOOD!

                I just make these and they taste great, but I thought there was way to much dry fruit (I used cranberries). Also, next time I'll fine chop the pecans for the topping and batter.

                I baked them in cupcake tins, about 18 cupcakes total!!! Just great!!! To get a reacher flavor out of them, warm them up in the electric oven for a few seconds. They even freeze perfect!

                This bread is perfect to give away as gifts. I didn't like the dried cherries though because it ended up being slightly bitter. Take out the cherries and it's an awesome pecan streusel bread. Especially the topping!!!

                Would I be able to freeze this loaf?  Would I have to omit the streusel topping?
