When we had a bunch of fresh strawberries last week, I was looking around for different sorts of recipes and found this one in a Taste of Home cookbook. It sounded really good, so Corban and I made it.
It's very much like a coffee cake, just in a loaf form. It was awesome warm from the oven, although it would cut better if you let it cool completely. Soft and moist, with chunks of strawberries imparting flavor in every bite....it is one I'd love to make again. I'm sure it would be delicious with raspberries or blueberries also. We'll have to give that a try later in the summer.
Recipe: (from Taste of Home)
1/2 c. butter, softened
3/4 c. sugar
2 eggs
1/2 c. sour cream
1 t. vanilla extract
1-3/4 c. all purpose flour
1/2 t. baking powder
1/2 t. baking soda
1/2 t. salt
1/4 t. ground cinnamon
3/4 c. chopped fresh strawberries
3/4 c. chopped walnuts, toasted, divided (optional)
Preheat oven to 350°.
In a large mixing bowl, cream butter and sugar until fluffy. Add eggs one at a time, beating well after addition. Add sour cream and vanilla; mix well. Combine the flour, baking powder, baking soda, salt, and cinnamon; stir into creamed mixture just until moistened. Fold in the strawberries and 1/2 cup walnuts if desired.
Pour in to a greased 8x4x2" loaf pan. Sprinkle with remaining nuts. Bake for 45-50 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted near the center comes out clean. Cool for 10 minutes before removing from pan to a wire rack to cool completely. Yield: 1 loaf
