Small Glacé Cherry Loaf

4/6 slices

• Description

  The Candied Loaf is a cake made with a sheet of brioche bread topped with a thin layer of apricot jam and candied cherries; it is all rolled up and garnished with almond paste and dusted with icing sugar just before cooking.
  In fact, the sugar cooks and caramelises, forming a crunchy crust which together with the chopped almonds gives a consistency which contrasts pleasantly with the soft dough and cherries.
  
  Recommended pairings:
  - Aleatico, coffee or smooth grappas
