Strawberry Bread

July 19, 2012 By betsy 1 Comment

I made it to Chicago! So far it hasn’t been too hot (thankfully! I’m totally a temperature wuss) , and I’ve already gotten to see some weather! My friends and I were all excited about seeing it thunderstorm last night, a phenomenon we never get to see in San Diego. Today I’ve been catching up with one sister in law, and baking a birthday cake for my other sister in law. Pretty mellow, which is just the way I like to vacation.

I hope everyone else is having as lovely of a week as I am. If it hasn’t been so great, I recommend getting in the kitchen and baking up some of this awesome bread. It will surely lift your spirits! I love strawberry season, and always try take full advantage. Pies, tarts, jams, you name it, I make it all in the summer time. I’d never even thought to make strawberry bread until I saw this recipe online. Pure genius! This is super awesome as a breakfast item or even as dessert. What kind of things do you guys like to make with strawberries? You know I’m always looking for new ideas.

Strawberry Bread recipe from Miz Helen’s Country Cottage 

1 1/2 cups Fresh Strawberries
1 cup sugar, divided
1 1/2 cups flour
1 teaspoon baking powder
1/2 teaspoon baking soda
1/4 teaspoon salt
1 teaspoon cinnamon
2 eggs
1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract
1/2 cup butter, melted but cooled
Wash , hull and slice strawberries.  Place in a non-metallic bowl and add up to 1/2 cup sugar. (The sugar will help pull the juice from the berries.)
In a large mixing bowl, whisk together remaining 1/2 cup sugar, flour, baking powder, baking soda, salt and cinnamon.
In another bowl, beat the eggs until foamy then add vanilla extract.  Add cooled and melted butter, whisking constantly to temper eggs (this prevents the heat from the melted butter from turning your eggs into scrambled). Stir in the Strawberries. Combine the two mixtures, blending until dry ingredients are combined and moistened.  Scrape batter into a lightly greased loaf pan.
Bake at 350 degrees for 60 to 70 minutes until a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean. 
Remove from pan and cool on wire rack for 20 minutes
For the duration of my trip, I’ve got lots of baby hugging planned, some great dinners, time with friends, and that’s pretty much it. I’m happy to be here in the summer for the first time in years. I’m hoping it won’t rain the whole time (although I wouldn’t mind that either) so I can get outside and enjoy summer in the city!
