Ingredients

Scale

160 g unsalted butter (room temperature)
160 g granulated sugar
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
3 large eggs
150 g Greek yogurt
260 g all-purpose flour
2 teaspoons baking powder
300 g pitted cherries
2 tablespoons brown sugar (for topping)

Instructions

Preheat your oven to 350°F (180°C). Prepare a loaf pan by greasing it or lining it with parchment paper.
Pit and chop the cherries, measuring out 300 g after pitting.
In a mixing bowl, cream together butter and sugar until pale and fluffy. Add vanilla extract, eggs, and Greek yogurt; mix until well combined.
In another bowl, whisk together flour and baking powder. Gradually incorporate into the wet mixture until just combined.
Gently fold in two-thirds of the cherries.
Pour the batter into the prepared loaf pan, scattering remaining cherries on top along with brown sugar.
Bake for 50-60 minutes or until a toothpick comes out clean.
Let cool in the pan for 15-20 minutes before transferring to a wire rack.
