Ingredients
- 2 eggs
- 280 gr flour
- 200 gr sugar
- 150 gr powdered sugar sifted
- 140 gr pecans (chopped)
- 120 gr semisweet chocolate chips
- 110 gr butter softened
- 120 ml buttermilk
- 65 gr glaced cherries (chopped)
- 22 ml cream
- 18 gr glaced cherries (finely)

Beat together first 5 ingredients until blended. Beat in melted chocolate. Combine and add next 4 ingredients and stir until dry ingredients are just moistened. Do not overmix. Stir in pecans and cherries. Divide batter between 3 greased and lightly floured mini-loaf foil pans (6x3x2 inch), place pans on a cookie sheet, and bake in a 160ºC oven for 45-50 minutes, or until a cake tester, inserted in center, comes out clean. Allow to cool for 15 minutes and then remove from pans and continue cooling on a rack. When cool, drizzle tops with Creamy Cherry Glaze. Yields 3 mini-loaves.
