Homemade Strawberry Bread

Delicious, kind of like a soda bread!

This recipe is taken from The Amish Cook website.

Ingredients:

2 eggs

1/2 cup vegetable oil

1 cup sugar

1/2 teaspoon vanilla

1/2 teaspoon almond extract

1 2/3 cup flour (stir or sift before measuring)

1/2 teaspoon baking powder

1/2 teaspoon baking soda

1/2 teaspoon salt

1 1/2 cups chopped strawberries-fresh or frozen and lightly drained (a few less than a whole pint)

1/2 cup chopped nuts-your choice (optional)

Directions:

Beat eggs until foamy. Add oil, sugar, vanilla, and almond to eggs and mix well.  Stir well or sift together flour, baking powder, soda, and salt.  Add to previous mixture and stir until just barely moistened.  Add strawberries and nuts and lightly mix, being careful not to overmix.  Pour into greased 9x5 loaf pan and bake 50-60 minutes at 350 until nicely browned and toothpick inserted in center comes out clean. May need to put foil over top if it browns too quickly.  Note: I would bake it for at least 60 minutes to ensure the bread is completely baked through.
