Method
1. Grease a 14cm x 24cm loaf pan. Line base and sides with baking paper.
2. Place butter, sugar, eggs, flour, almond meal and milk in a small bowl. Beat with an electric mixer, on low speed, until ingredients are combined. Then beat on medium speed for about 2 minutes or until smooth. Stir in cherries and sultanas. Spoon mixture into prepared pan.
3. Cook in a moderate oven, 180C, for about 50 minutes or until cooked when tested. Stand loaf in pan for 5 minutes before turning out onto a wire rack to cool.
4. Serve loaf cut into slices with butter or margarine.
