Ingredients
  

  • 3 eggs well-beaten
  • 2 cups sugar
  • 1 ½ cup oil I use olive oil.
  • 1 tsp vanilla extract
  • ¼ tsp almond extract
  • 3 cups flour
  • 1 tsp baking soda
  • ¾ tsp salt
  • ¾ tsp cinnamon
  • 1 pinch of allspice
  • 2½ cups strawberries (and juice from berries)

Instructions
 

  • Combine and mix the eggs, sugar, oil, and vanilla.
  • In a separate bowl, sift together dry ingredients.
  • Add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients in three increments, mixing just until combined after each addition. Don't overmix.
  • Using a spatula, gently fold in the strawberries, strawberry juice, and nuts (if using) until thoroughly incorporated throughout the batter.
  • Spoon the batter into two prepared loaf pans. Bake for 1 hour or until a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean.
  • Place on a wire rack to cool; then remove the loaves from the pans.

Notes

    • One cup of pecans can be added if desired.
    • Use fresh, firm, bright red berries for best results.
    • Tightly wrap and store at room temperature for up to 5 days.
    • Sprinkle the strawberries with a teaspoon or two of the measured sugar to draw out a bit of juice.
