Ingredients

  • 2/3 cup softened butter 150 grams
  • 8 oz. cream cheese
  • 1 cup strawberries thawed and mashed
  • 2 ripe bananas about 1 cup mashed
  • 1 cup granulated sugar can be increased to 1 1/2 cups
  • 2 eggs
  • 3 cups all purpose flour or substitute 1 1/2 cups wheat flour if desired
  • 1/2 tsp baking soda
  • 1/2 tsp baking powder
  • 1/2 tsp salt
  • 1 tsp vanilla extract

Instructions

  1. Grease a 9x5x2.5 inch pan and preheat the oven to 350F.

  2. Cream the butter and cream cheese in a medium mixing bowl. Gradually mix in the sugar, beating well to combine.

  3. Add the eggs one at a time, beating well after each egg.

  4. In a large mixing bowl, whisk the flour, baking soda, baking powder, and salt.

  5. Gradually stir in the flour mixture into the wet mixture until just combined.

  6. Add the vanilla, mashed banana and mashed strawberries and mix until just combined. Be careful not to over mix.

  7. Pour into the prepared loaf pan (or several loaf pans if using a smaller size) and bake for 1 hour, shielding with tin foil the last 15 minutes to prevent over-browning.

  8. Remove when a tooth pick poked into the center comes out clean. Let cool on a rack before slicing. Wrap with plastic wrap and place back in the pan once fully cooled. It should keep for about 4 days on the counter.
