Cherry Pie Filling Bread with Buttermilk

Instructions:

1. Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease a 9x5 inch loaf pan with butter or line it with parchment paper.
2. In a large bowl, whisk together the all-purpose flour, granulated sugar, baking powder, and salt.
3. In a separate small bowl, whisk together the buttermilk, egg, melted butter, and vanilla extract.
4. Pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients and stir until just combined; do not overmix.
5. Gently fold in approximately 3/4 of the cherry pie filling using a spatula.
6. Pour the batter into the prepared loaf pan. Spoon the remaining cherry filling over the top and swirl it in with a knife to create a marbled effect.
7. Bake for 55–65 minutes, or until the top is mahogany-colored and a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.
8. Allow the bread to cool in the pan for 10 minutes before transferring it to a wire rack to cool completely.
9. Whisk together powdered sugar, milk, and almond extract until smooth, then drizzle over the completely cooled bread.
