Tips:

Use fresh or frozen cherries. Fresh cherries are best, but frozen cherries will also work well. If using frozen cherries, thaw them completely before using.
Pit the cherries. You can use a cherry pitter or a sharp knife to pit the cherries. Be sure to remove all of the pits, as they can be a choking hazard.
Use a combination of all-purpose flour and cake flour. This will give the bread a light and fluffy texture.
Cream the butter and sugar together until light and fluffy. This will help to incorporate air into the batter, which will make the bread light and airy.
Add the eggs one at a time, beating well after each addition. This will help to prevent the batter from curdling.
Add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients alternately, beginning and ending with the dry ingredients. This will help to prevent the batter from becoming too stiff.
Fold in the cherries. Be careful not to overmix the batter, as this can toughen the bread.
Bake the bread in a preheated oven until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean. The baking time will vary depending on the size and shape of the pan you are using.
Let the bread cool completely before slicing and serving. This will help to prevent the bread from crumbling.
