Strawberry Cake Bread Recipe

I enjoy making dessert recipes that are really simple, throw it together and place in the oven type stuff. This is one of those recipes, perfect for a relaxing weekend and minimal time in the kitchen. I make this cake bread much like Banana Bread in a ceramic loaf pan, but the strawberry version comes out so moist! It totally melts in your mouth! The more strawberries the better. The photo above was a time when I think I put in almost twice more strawberries than there was batter. The secret is to keep it in the oven longer than you think, it will become a dark amber brown and will have a delicious crunchy crust on the outside. 

Of course you can use this recipe with any berries you have on hand. I used frozen organic strawberries since fresh are so expensive and it is the #3 crop for the most pesticide content according to EWG, not an option to buy non-organic. Frozen raspberries or blueberries would work just as well. Mango would be heavenly! If you try it with something else let me know! This recipe makes one loaf

Ingredients:

2/3 cup melted butter
3/4 cup brown sugar

2 eggs beaten
1 tsp vanilla
1 tsp baking soda
pinch of salt
1 tbsp flax seed
1/2 tbsp wheat germ
2 cups flour
1 1/2 cups strawberries cut in half (or quarters if they are large, defrosted if you use frozen)

Directions: 

1. Preheat oven to 350 degrees Fahrenheit. Oil a loaf pan.

2. Mix all but the last ingredient in the above order. A mixer isn't necessary, but I use one.
3. Fold in strawberries. Pour batter into loaf pan. 
4. Bake in the oven for 1 hour and 10 minutes. Let cool and devour!


If you have a family of more than 3 or 4 people, you'll have to make two! It disappears really fast.
