strawberry spice loaf


i've been wanting to bake this loaf for a while but everytime i made a loaf lately i've made the blueberry cornmeal loaf. beside people wanting to try that loaf cuz it wont the best of show, i also usually always have the ingredients in my house so that makes it much easier. the good thing about this strawberry loaf was that it was so moist and had a great flavor to it because of the cinnamon and nutmeg. it also stayed warm for pretty much the whole evening. i had to leave it to bake for about 20 minutes longer than the recipe suggests, but if u do decided to bake it, follow the time in the recipe and then add more minutes of baking time if needed. u don't want to burn it!

1-1/2 cups all-purpose flour
1 cup white sugar
1/2 teaspoon salt
1/2 tbsp ground cinnamon
1/2 teaspoon ground nutmeg
1/2 teaspoon baking soda
1/2 cup and 2 tablespoons vegetable oil
2 eggs, beaten
1 (10 ounce) package frozen strawberries, thawed
Directions

Preheat oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C). Grease and flour a 9x5 inch loaf pan.
In a large bowl, combine flour, sugar, salt, cinnamon, nutmeg and baking soda. In a separate bowl, combine oil and eggs. Add strawberries (juice and all) to oil/egg mixture. Mix thoroughly. Make a well in the center of the dry ingredients and pour in the strawberry mixture. Mix until thoroughly combined. Pour batter into prepared pans.
Bake in preheated oven for one hour, or until a toothpick inserted into the center of a loaf comes out clean. Cool slightly before removing from pans.
