White Chocolate Strawberry Loaf image

This is a wonderful way to take advantage of summer's best strawberries. I hope that you will all enjoy it. The strawberries need to sit in the sugar for hours to develop the juice so do plan ahead just a bit. I started the berries in the morning and made the loaf in the afternoon.

Time 55m

Yield 1 loaf

Number Of Ingredients 12

1 cup strawberry, sliced
2 tablespoons sugar
1 1/2 cups all-purpose flour
3/4 cup sugar
1 teaspoon baking powder
3/4 teaspoon baking soda
1/4 teaspoon salt
1 1/2 ounces white chocolate, chopped fine and divided
1/4 cup canola oil (or any vegetable)
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
1/2 teaspoon strawberry extract (optional)
2 eggs, beaten

Steps:

  • Sprinkle the sliced berries with the 2 tablespoons of sugar and put them in the refrigerator in a covered bowl for several hours or overnight to make them release their juice.
  • Preheat the oven to 350°F.
  • Mix the flour, 3/4 cup sugar, baking soda, and salt and 1 ounce of the chopped white chocolate in a large mixing bowl.
  • In a medium mixing bowl, combine the oil, vanilla, strawberry extract (if using) eggs, strawberry slices and the juice.
  • Pour the strawberry mixture into the flour mixture, and mix just until blended.
  • Pour the batter into a greased loaf pan (8 inches x 5 inches) and bake for approximately 40 minutes.
  • FINISH: When the loaf has cooled melt the remaining 1/2 ounce of white chocolate in a small plastic bag in the microwave (should take 15-20 secs). Cut a small hole in the corner on the bag and squeeze the chocolate onto the loaf in any pattern you like.
