Ingredients
3 eggs
1 cup Amish Friendship Bread Starter
1 cup oil
1/2 cup milk
1 cup sugar
1/2 teaspoon vanilla (I always add a little extra splash)
1 1/2 teaspoons baking powder
1/2 teaspoon salt
1/2 teaspoon baking soda
2 cups flour
1-2 small boxes instant cheesecake pudding
1/2 cup cream cheese, softened
1/2 can cherry pie filling
Directions
- Preheat oven to 325° F (165° C).
- In a large mixing bowl, add ingredients as listed.
- Grease 2 large loaf pans.
- Dust the greased pans with granulated sugar.
- Pour the batter evenly into loaf pans. Place a few cherries on top!
- Bake for 1 hour, or until the bread loosens evenly from the sides and a toothpick inserted in the center of the loaf comes out clean.
- ENJOY!
Kitchen Notes
Make sure the cream cheese is soft enough to blend easily into the batter. This would also work well with a strawberry filling!




What size cheesecake pudding boxes? Sounds delicious!
Small size boxes, Judy. I don’t think they sell the cheesecake in large, if so, you could use one large.
Hi, can you tell me as to where I might be able to find instant “cheesecake” pudding? I’m not familiar with this flavor (& if you know the brand, that would be a big help) and I’d love to make this!
Thanks for your time!
I pick up mine at the local grocery store. It’s made under the jello brand
YUMMY! I love cherries and cheesecake!
Can I use Vanilla Pudding and still have the cheesecake flaver for this recipe?
