Strawberry Bread


Fellow Springdellian Lisa Simons-Kearns baked this delicious recipe inspired by Ellen Rainey’s recipe on All Recipes. Here is Lisa’s version. Thanks for sharing, Ellen and Lisa!

  • 4 cups fresh strawberries, diced
  • 3 1/8 cups all-purpose flour
  • 1 1/2 cups white sugar
  • 1/2 tablespoon ground cinnamon
  • 1 tablespoon vanilla
  • 1 teaspoon baking soda
  • 4 eggs, beaten
  • 1 1/4 cups chopped walnuts

 

  1. Preheat oven to 350 degrees. Butter and flour two loaf pans (9 x 5 inch).
  2. Lightly sprinkle your diced strawberries with a light sprinkling of your 1 1/2 cups of sugar and set aside in a bowl.
  3. In another bowl, mix together flour, sugar, cinnamon, salt and baking soda; Mix together oil, eggs and vanilla with the strawberries. Combine wet and dry mixtures before folding in the walnuts. Pour the mixture evenly into your loaf pans.
  4. Bake for about 45-50 minutes, until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean. Let the loaves cool for at least 10 minutes before removing them from their pans.  Enjoy!
