STRAWBERRY-LEMON LOAF CAKE



Strawberry-Lemon Loaf Cake image

This cake is summer in a loaf pan. When baked, strawberries can become sour and a little gummy. Here, berries are macerated with sugar first to remove some of their liquid and concentrate their flavor. (Don't use frozen strawberries. Keep those for your smoothie!) The lemon icing adds a nice finish, to balance and bolster the cake's tart-sweetness. Have it as dessert or a snack, but it's especially good at breakfast with hot coffee or tea.

Time 1h30m

Yield One 9-inch loaf

Number Of Ingredients 15

Nonstick cooking spray
1 cup/150 grams diced strawberries
1 cup/200 grams plus 1 tablespoon granulated sugar
1 1/2 cups/192 grams all-purpose flour
1 tablespoon lemon zest (from 1 lemon)
2 teaspoons baking powder
1/2 teaspoon kosher salt (Diamond Crystal)
1 cup/227 grams sour cream, at room temperature
1/2 cup/110 grams vegetable oil
3 large eggs, at room temperature
1 tablespoon lemon juice
1 teaspoon pure vanilla extract
1 cup/123 grams confectioners' sugar
1 tablespoon lemon zest (from 1 lemon)
2 tablespoons lemon juice

Steps:

  • Make the cake: Heat oven to 350 degrees. Spray a 9-by-5-inch loaf pan with nonstick cooking spray and set aside.
  • In a small bowl, toss the strawberries with 1 tablespoon sugar to macerate while you prepare the cake batter.
  • In a large bowl, combine the flour, lemon zest, baking powder, salt and remaining 1 cup sugar. Whisk to combine. In a second large bowl, combine the sour cream, oil, eggs, lemon juice and vanilla extract. Whisk to combine.
  • Pour the wet ingredients into the dry, and stir gently to mix. Lift the macerated berries out of their liquid and add them to the batter. Gently fold in the berries until evenly incorporated.
  • Pour the batter into the prepared loaf pan. Bake until a skewer inserted into the middle comes out clean, 60 to 70 minutes. If it looks to be browning on top too much, tent with aluminum foil. Cool it in the pan on a rack for about 10 minutes, then unmold the cake carefully and transfer to the rack to cool completely.
  • Make the glaze: In a small bowl, combine the confectioners' sugar with the lemon zest and juice and stir until smooth. Pour the glaze over the cooled cake. Let stand until set.

Yield 8 servings

Number Of Ingredients 12

3/4 cup (1 1/2 sticks) unsalted butter, plus more for pan
10 large fresh bay leaves, 10 sprigs thyme, or 6 sprigs rosemary
3/4 cup plus 1 Tbsp. whole milk
1 Tbsp. plus 1 tsp. finely grated lemon zest
1/4 cup fresh lemon juice
2 cups all-purpose flour
2 tsp. baking powder
3/4 tsp. kosher salt
2 large eggs, room temperature
3/4 cup granulated sugar
6 Tbsp. strawberry jam, divided
1/2 cup powdered sugar

Steps:

  • Preheat oven to 350°F. Butter an 8 1/2x4 1/2" loaf pan, then line with parchment paper, leaving a 2" overhang on 2 sides.
  • Lightly crush herbs with your hands to help release oils, then transfer to a small saucepan. Add 3/4 cup butter and cook over medium heat, swirling pan often, until butter melts, about 5 minutes. Let cool to room temperature, 15-20 minutes.
  • Meanwhile, stir 3/4 cup milk, 1 Tbsp. lemon zest, and 1/4 cup lemon juice in a small bowl. Whisk flour, baking powder, and salt in a medium bowl.
  • Using an electric mixer on medium speed (or a stand mixer fitted with the whisk attachment), beat eggs and granulated sugar in a large bowl until light in color and doubled in size, 4-5 minutes. Discard herbs from butter, then beat butter into egg mixture until well combined. Add half of dry ingredients and beat just until combined. Beat in milk mixture, then add remaining dry ingredients and beat just until combined. Do not overmix.
  • Pour half of batter into prepared pan; smooth top. Top with 3 Tbsp. jam and swirl through batter with a butter knife or chopstick. Pour remaining batter over; smooth top. Repeat swirling process with remaining 3 Tbsp. jam.
  • Bake cake until a tester inserted into the center comes out with moist crumbs attached, 50-60 minutes.
  • Transfer pan to a wire rack and let cool 20 minutes. Remove cake from pan using parchment overhang and let cool completely.
  • Whisk powdered sugar and remaining 1 Tbsp. milk and 1 tsp. lemon zest in a small bowl until smooth. Spoon over top of cake and let drip down sides.
  • Do Ahead: Cake can be baked 3 days ahead. Store in an airtight container at room temperature, or freeze up to 3 months.

Tips:

  • To achieve a light and fluffy texture, cream together the butter and sugar until light and fluffy.
  • Gradually beat in the eggs one at a time, ensuring each egg is fully incorporated before adding the next.
  • Use fresh, ripe strawberries for the best flavor. If using frozen strawberries, thaw them completely and drain off any excess liquid before using.
  • For a more intense lemon flavor, use freshly squeezed lemon juice and zest.
  • Do not overmix the batter, as this can result in a tough loaf.
  • Bake the loaf until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean. Overbaking can dry out the loaf.
  • Allow the loaf to cool completely before glazing or serving.

Conclusion:

This Strawberry Lemon Loaf is a delightful treat that combines the flavors of sweet strawberries and tangy lemons. With its light and fluffy texture and moist crumb, this loaf is perfect for any occasion. Whether you serve it for breakfast, brunch, or dessert, this loaf is sure to be a hit. So next time you're looking for a delicious and easy-to-make loaf, give this Strawberry Lemon Loaf a try. You won't be disappointed!
