Strawberry Spice 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.

MINI POUND CAKES WITH STRAWBERRY GLAZE

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 350 degrees and grease a mini bundt cake pan (or pans) with nonstick spray.
• In a medium bowl, whisk together flour, baking powder & salt. Combine well and then set aside.
• In a separate bowl, mix together butter and sugar until smooth. Add in the eggs, one at a time, until well combined. Add sour cream and vanilla and beat until the entire batter is mixed.
• Add the flour mixture to the egg blend and combine together, mix thoroughly.
• Spoon out batter into bundt cake pan(s), about ¾ - ⅘ full.
• Place cake pan inside the oven and bake for 18-20 minutes or until the tops of the cake(s) are golden brown.
• When cooking time is complete, remove pan from the oven and allow cakes to cool on top of a cooling rack.
• While cakes are cooling, prepare the strawberry glaze. In a small bow, combine strawberry slices with the sugar. Crush strawberries until the mixture is smooth and running. Add in the powdered sugar and whipping cream. Mix thoroughly until well combined.
• When cakes have reached room temperature, spoon or pour out the glaze over each cake.
• Top with sprinkles and serve immediately.
• Notes:
• If cakes are cooked well above the surface of the pan, feel free to use a bread knife to saw off excess cake. This recipe works best if the bottoms of the mini cakes are flush with the pan before placing them on the cooling rack.
• To reach optimal consistency for the strawberry glaze, using a food processor can speed up the process of crushing and liquefying the strawberries.
• Top with sprinkles.
• Pairs great with whip cream!
