Instructions
 

Strawberry Puree Instructions

  • Bring a small saucepan with butter, strawberries, and sugar to medium heat. Cook 5-7 minutes until tender, stir frequently. Use an immersion blender to blend into a puree. You should have about 1 cup of puree.

Strawberry Loaf Instructions

  • Preheat the oven to 350. Spray a 9x5 inch metal loaf pan with baking spray. You can also line it with parchment paper.
  • Mix the strawberry puree, melted butter, milk, cane sugar, baking soda, baking power, vanilla, and strawberry extract if using together. Then, add the flour and mix until a batter forms. Transfer the batter into the loaf pan.
  • Bake the strawberry cake for about 50 minutes or until it has completely risen and is golden around the edges.

Cream Cheese Frosting

  • While the strawberry loaf bakes, mix the softened butter, cream cheese, and powdered sugar to make the cream cheese frosting. Allow the cake to cool completely before frosting ... or you can do what I did and ice it while it's still warm so that the icing melts over the loaf. Top with more berries and serve warm or cooled.
