Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and grease a loaf pan.

In a large bowl, whisk together flour, sugar, baking powder, and salt.

In another bowl, combine eggs, milk, and almond extract; beat lightly.

Pour the wet ingredients into the dry mixture and stir until just combined. Gently fold in the chopped cherries.

Transfer the batter to the greased loaf pan and bake for about 60 minutes or until a toothpick comes out clean.

Let cool in the pan for 10 minutes before transferring to a wire rack.
