Strawberry Lemon Loaf Recipes

STRAWBERRY BREAD

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C). Butter and flour two 9 x 5-inch loaf pans.
• Slice strawberries and place in medium-sized bowl. Sprinkle lightly with sugar, and set aside while preparing batter.
• Combine flour, sugar, cinnamon, salt and baking soda in large bowl; mix well. Blend oil and eggs into strawberries. Add strawberry mixture to flour mixture, blending until dry ingredients are just moistened. Stir in pecans. Divide batter into pans.
• Bake in preheated oven until a tester inserted in the center comes out clean, 45 to 50 minutes (test each loaf separately). Let cool in pans on wire rack for 10 minutes. Turn loaves out of pans, and allow to cool before slicing.

STRAWBERRY-LEMON LOAF CAKE

Steps:

• Make the cake: Heat oven to 350 degrees. Spray a 9-by-5-inch loaf pan with nonstick cooking spray and set aside.
• In a small bowl, toss the strawberries with 1 tablespoon sugar to macerate while you prepare the cake batter.
• In a large bowl, combine the flour, lemon zest, baking powder, salt and remaining 1 cup sugar. Whisk to combine. In a second large bowl, combine the sour cream, oil, eggs, lemon juice and vanilla extract. Whisk to combine.
• Pour the wet ingredients into the dry, and stir gently to mix. Lift the macerated berries out of their liquid and add them to the batter. Gently fold in the berries until evenly incorporated.
• Pour the batter into the prepared loaf pan. Bake until a skewer inserted into the middle comes out clean, 60 to 70 minutes. If it looks to be browning on top too much, tent with aluminum foil. Cool it in the pan on a rack for about 10 minutes, then unmold the cake carefully and transfer to the rack to cool completely.
• Make the glaze: In a small bowl, combine the confectioners' sugar with the lemon zest and juice and stir until smooth. Pour the glaze over the cooled cake. Let stand until set.

STRAWBERRY LEMON YOGURT QUICK BREAD

Steps:

• For the bread. Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F. Line a 9x5 loaf pan with parchment paper.
• In a large bowl, whisk together the flour, sugar, lemon zest, baking soda, and salt until well combined. Then, using a spatula, gently fold in 1 cup of strawberries so that the strawberries are covered with the flour mixture. Set aside.
• In another bowl, whisk together the yogurt, butter, lemon juice, egg, and vanilla extract until creamy and uniform in appearance. Then, pour the wet mixture into the dry ingredients.
• Using a spatula, fold the mixture together until the batter is just combined (you no longer see dry ingredients and the dough will look a little raggedy, thick, and not completely smooth).
• Using clean hands, knead the dough a few times to form a loaf shape. Do not overmix. Pick up the dough and place it in the loaf pan. Top it with the remaining ½ cup of strawberries, pressing the strawberries down gently into the dough.
• Bake for 45-65 minutes, or until a wooden skewer (or cake tester) comes out clean in the center.
• For the glaze. As the bread bakes, whisk together the lemon juice and sugar until well combined. After the cake is ready and still hot, poke holes using a wooden or metal skewer or the tip of a knife into the top of the bread and pour the glaze over it.
• Let the bread cool slightly in the loaf pan before eating. Best enjoyed the same day it's baked.
