Ingredients

  • 1 quart Fresh strawberries
  • 2 Tbsp Sugar
  • 1 cup Sugar
  • 2/3 cup Vegetable oil
  • 2 Eggs
  • 1 1/2 cup All purpose flour
  • 1 tsp Baking soda
  • 1/2 tsp Salt
  • 1 tsp Vanilla
  • Cooking spray

Instructions

  1. Preheat oven to 350 degrees and coat loaf pan(s) with cooking spray.

  2. Hull and wash strawberries, chop into small pieces and place in a small bow. Lightly mash strawberries with a fork, sprinkle with 2 tbsp. of sugar and set aside.

  3. Cream oil and sugar together in a mixing bowl with mixer.

  4. Add strawberries to the mixing bowl and mix.

  5. Add eggs, one at a time, to the mixing bowl and mix.

  6. In a separate bowl, combine the flour, baking soda and salt. (I like to use a large measuring cup.) Slowly add flour mixture to the mixing bowl and mix.

  7. Add vanilla to the mixing bowl and mix.

  8. Pour batter in to loaf pan. If using two small pans or three mini pans, divide mixture among the pans.

  9. Bake for 45 - 50 minutes, depending on oven speed. To check if the loaf is finished, insert a toothpick in the middle of the loaf. If it is clean when you pull it out, it should be finished.

    NOTE: If you are using smaller pans, start checking doneness at 35 minutes.

  10. Place pan(s) on cooling rack. When cakes have cooled, remove from pans and invert onto a plate.

  11. This bread is delicious both when it is warm from the oven or after it has cooled down.
