1 teaspoon baking soda
1⁄2 teaspoon salt
2 teaspoons ground

powder, baking soda, salt, and cinnamon.

cherries and stir well. Transfer the batter to the prepared loaf pan. Sprinkle the topping evenly over the batter.
5. Bake the bread for 1 1/2 hours, or until a toothpick inserted into the middle of the bread comes out clean.
6. Let the zucchini bread cool in the pan before removing it from the pan
to serve.
