### Optional: - Some honey or maple syrup for a bit of sweetness

Steps

1. Preheat oven: Preheat the oven to 180˚C and oil a loaf pan, or just plop it onto a lined baking tray.
2. Dry: In a large bowl, combine flour, baking powder, baking soda and salt. If using add the honey or syrup
3. Wet: In another bowl, beat the egg with milk, oil, lemon juice and if using than the honey/syrup too.
4. Combine: Add wet to dry, and add the cherries and walnuts. Mix until just combined, don’t overmix, just so no dry flour remains.
5. Bake: Put into the loaf pan or on a baking tray and bake for 40-50 minutes, or until a toothpick comes out clean.
6. Let it cool: Let it rest in the pan for like 10 minutes, then put it on rack or a plate and let cool completely.
