Recipe View 20 mins Drizzle the icing over the cooled loaf, allowing it to drip down the sides. Let the icing set for about 20 minutes before slicing and serving. (20 minutes)

For a richer flavor, consider using high-quality dark chocolate with a cocoa content of 70% or higher.
To prevent the cherries from sinking to the bottom of the loaf, toss them lightly with a tablespoon of flour before adding them to the batter.
If you don't have walnuts on hand, pecans or almonds make excellent substitutes.
The loaf can be stored in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 3 days or in the refrigerator for up to a week.
