BIG NEWS - I just received an E-Mail informing me that my little blog "WITH A BLAST" has been featured on the weekly FOODIE BLOGROLL !! I am so excited as I only started in May 2012 and definitely did not expect this {I'm smiling, smiling and can not stop...- oh my 15 minutes of fame}

Okay, my 15 minutes of fame is up - on to today's recipe.
I've never made Strawberry Bread - first bake and first success. Moist and really ... well, strawberry-ish! I saw a link on one of the linky parties this week, pinned it and decided to print immediately as I had all the ingredients on hand.
The recipe is just enough for a medium loaf and with our family going overboard on the desserts, I think I'll double the recipe next time!
Strawberry Bread
1 1/2 cups Fresh Strawberries, washed, hulled and sliced
1 cup Sugar, divided
1 1/2 cups Flour (I used Cake Flour)
1 t Baking Powder
1/2 t Baking Soda
1/4 t Salt
1 t Cinnamon
2 Eggs
1/2 t Vanilla Extract
1/2 cup Butter, melted and cooled
1.) Place the Strawberries in a non-metallic bowl and add 1/2 cup Sugar. Set aside.
2.) Pre-heat oven to 180 deg C (350 deg F) - Spray a loaf pan with Spray 'N Cook and line the bottom with baking paper.
3.) Mix together the remaining 1/2 cup Sugar, Flour, Baking Powder, Baking Soda, Salt and Cinnamon.
4.) In a separate bowl, beat the Eggs until foamy, add the Vanilla and the cooled melted Butter, whilst beating continuously.
5.) Stir in the Strawberries to the Egg mixture, and mix with the dry ingredients.
6.) Transfer to the prepared loaf pan and bake for 60 - 70 minutes until a tester comes out clean.
7.) Remove from the oven, leave in pan for 5 minutes then turn out to cool on a wire-rack for 20 minutes.
I served the bread, sliced, with a dollop of lightly sweetened whipped cream and a few fresh strawberry slices.
A number of goodies attracted my attention on Miz Helen's Country Cottage and I'll definitely visit her blog more often. You have the link above - go check out her blog {unless I'm the only one late to this party!}
Ciao for now,
Linda
