1 1/2 cups butter -- softened
8 ounces cream cheese -- softened
2 cups sugar
1 pinch salt
2 teaspoons vanilla extract
6 eggs -- room temperature
3 cups flour -- sifted
1 pint strawberries -- sliced
Preheat oven to 325F. Cream the butter,
softened cream cheese, and sugar together until
light and fluffy.
Add the salt and vanilla and
beat well.
Add the eggs, one at a time, beating
thoroughly after each addition.
Stir in the flour.
Gradually add the sliced strawberries, gently
folding them in after each addition.
Spoon the
batter into 2 buttered and floured loaf pans, and
bake 90 minutes or until the cake begins to pull
away from the sides of the pans.
Place the pans on
a cooling rack until cooled; turn out gently onto
wire rack to finish cooling. |
