Loaf cakes have to be one of my favorite things to bake because they are just so darn easy. From the classic banana bread to the lemon loaves and beyond, these are my kind of treats. You can get away with eating them for breakfast or brunch, an afternoon snack, or a classy dessert. Basically, enjoy a slice any time you like! This Strawberry Swirl Loaf uses kitchen staples to create a stunning treat that I know you’re going to love.
The batter is comprised of all the usual suspects like flour, sugar, and eggs. We’ve sprinkled in a little cinnamon that compliments the sweet berries beautifully. You will want to use fresh berries for this recipe as a frozen berry won’t hold up in the same way. Then for the topping! A generous amount of sweet strawberry jam is spooned on top and swirled into the batter. The results are absolutely stunning.
This treat feels perfect for Valentine’s Day or any spring function where you want to impress. The swirl is such a showstopper that no icing is needed. I know I can’t help but buy fresh berries when they’re on sale and they sure do shine in a recipe like this one. Give this easy Strawberry Swirl Loaf a try and I’m sure it’s going to be love at first bite.
