Ingredients

STRAWBERRY BREAD
  • 1½ cups all purpose flour (or cake flour)
  • 1½ teaspoon baking powder
  • ¼ teaspoon salt
  • 1 cup mascarpone
  • ½ cup granulated sugar
  • 3 large eggs (room temperature)
  • ½ cup vegetable oil or melted butter (I use corn or sunflower)
  • 1¼ cups chopped strawberries
STRAWBERRY FROSTING
  • ⅓ cup pureed strawberries (approximately 3 large strawberries)
  • ⅓ cup cream cheese (room temperature)
  • 2 tablespoons powdered sugar

Instructions

STRAWBERRY BREAD
    Cup of Yum
  1. Pre-heat oven to 350F/180C. Grease and flour or spray an 8 inch (20 cm) loaf pan.
  2. In a medium bowl whisk together the flour, baking powder and salt.
  3. In a large bowl beat the mascarpone and sugar until creamy, add the eggs one at a time and beat to combine, add the oil and beat to combine. Add the dry ingredients beat until smooth (1 minute), fold in the chopped strawberries.
  4. Spoon the batter into the prepared loaf pan and bake for approximately 45-55 minutes, test for doneness with a toothpick.  Let cool in pan 15 minutes then move to a wire rack to cool completely before frosting or dusting with powdered sugar. Enjoy!
STRAWBERRY FROSTING
  1. In a blender puree the strawberries and sugar then add the cream cheese, and whisk to combine until creamy, if you want a thinner frosting then add a little more strawberry puree or a little cream or milk. 

Notes

  • Due to the fresh strawberries which are high in moisture and frosting which contains cream cheese, I would recommend storing this strawberry bread in the fridge. Tightly wrap in plastic wrap or an airtight container and it should keep for up to 4-5 days.
  • You can freeze either the whole loaf or individual slices. Cool completely then wrap slices or bread in plastic wrap and freeze for up to 3 months. Thaw bread while still wrapped overnight in the fridge.
