3 C flour
1 TSP baking soda
1 TSP salt
1 TBS cinnamon
2 C sugar
4 eggs (slightly beaten)
1¼ C vegatable oil
2 C strawberries fresh or frozen (mashed)
1½ C pecans or walnuts (chopped)
Temperature: 350
Mix the dry ingredients in a bowl. Mix the liquid ingredients together. Make an indented “well” in the center of the dry mixture then add the liquid mix to it. Stir just enough to moisten. Pour into greased bread pans. This makes enough cake batter for six 6x3x2″ pans or two 9x5x3″ pans. Bake for 40-60 minutes, depending on the size of the pans. Cool in the pans for 10 minutes. Turn out on cake racks to cool. Can be made in smaller sized disposable aluminum pans and frozen right in them. Great for food gifts. Tastes great hot!
This same recipe is suitable for apple bread. Substitute finely chopped apples and soak bulk pieces in lemon juice and water while waiting to place in the chopper, drain well and add the juice of ½ lemon to the apples while chopping. Add ¼ TSP baking soda and ¼ TSP nutmeg to a single recipe.
