Strawberry Muffins…no, Cupcakes…no, Muffins…okay, Bread

Spread the love

I’m not very girl-y. I never have been. As a child I refused to wear anything even remotely pink and a dress was the equivalent to being put in the stockade, but I have always loved strawberries. My great-grandmother used to have a strawberry patch behind her house ( wait…have I told you this before?) and it was our job to pick them all so she could make jam. I’m not sure how good of a worker I was since I think more berries went in my tummy than in the jelly pot.
Now, I have a daughter of my own and while she may look like me, she is a much different child than I was. She is very girl-y. She loves dolls and dress-up and she prefers a dress over a pair of blue jean shorts any day, but she does share my love of strawberries. She and I could clean out a few pints of berries in one sitting.
So today, while it thundered and rained outside, my children and I pulled out my grandmother’s recipe box and found her recipe for strawberry bread. She used to make it in loaf pans, but I went with muffin pans. When they were done, I couldn’t decide whether they were muffins or cake. They are sweet and fruity and pink. They even taste pink! I thought about an icing or a glaze of some kind, but they really don’t need it. I was thinking though that these would be perfect for a little girl’s birthday party or even a baby shower, but a rainy day works too.

Strawberry Bread/Muffins/Cupcakes

1 stick of butter, softened
3/4 cup sugar
1/2 t. vanilla
1/2 t. salt
2 eggs
1/4 cup sour cream with 1/4 t. baking soda dissolved in it
1 1/2 cups AP flour
1 – 8oz jar of Strawberry Jam
1 t red food coloring ( or until you get the right color)
Optional:
1/4 c. chopped nuts

Preheat oven to 350.

Cream butter, sugar, vanilla and salt together until light and fluffy. Add eggs in one at a time until incorporated.

Add in sour cream. Slowly add in flour until just combined.

Stir in jam and food coloring.

Portion batter out into paper lined muffin pans or a greased and floured loaf pan.

Bake until toothpick comes out clean,

about 20 minutes for muffins, and 50 minutes for a loaf.

    whatever you call them, I know these are great… your grandmother must have been keen, pretty clever to come up with this one … the cream cheese frosting sounds good on muffins, but so the loaf form, sliced and toasted with butter…

    I'll have to sneak a jar of strawberry jam from my mommy-in-law. I kind of lost out on getting the right berry for my own jams this year.

    I absolutely adore the color of those 'muff-cakes'.
    I don't mind being girly for just this time;o)

    Thanks for sharing and flavourful wishes,
    Claudia

    That looks great. I would say they are cupcakes without the icing 😀
