This is a lovely quick bread that I enjoy making when fresh strawberries are first in season. It is a springtime treat that goes well with a cup of tea or a cool glass of milk. Ingredients:
1 pint strawberry, hulled and cut into 1/2-inch pieces (about 2 cups) |
1 cup sugar, divided |
2 1/2 cups all-purpose flour, fork-stirred |
1 teaspoon baking soda |
1/2 teaspoon ground cinnamon |
1/4 teaspoon salt |
3 eggs |
1/3 cup vegetable oil |
1 teaspoon vanilla extract |
1 cup chopped walnuts |
Directions:
1. Preheat oven to 350 degrees. Sprinkle strawberries with 1/2 cup sugar; set aside.
2. Combine flour, baking soda, cinnamon and salt. Set aside.
3. In a large bowl, beat eggs with remaining 1/2 cup sugar until fluffy and lemon-colored. Stir in oil and vanilla. Add walnuts and reserved flour mixture. Stir only until combined.
4. Turn into well-greased and lightly floured 9x5x3-inch loaf pan; spread smooth. Bake until a cake tester inserted in the center comes out clean, about 45 minutes. Remove from pan and cool on a wire rack.
