List of Ingredients

◦  1 cup butter, softened
◦  2 cups sugar
◦  5 large eggs
◦  1 tablespoon strawberry extract
◦  ½ teaspoon vanilla extract
◦  2¼ cups all-purpose flour
◦  ½ teaspoon salt
◦  ½ cup sour cream
◦  1 cup chopped fresh strawberries
◦  1 (1-pound) container strawberries, sliced
◦  ½ cup strawberry syrup
◦  1 recipe Amaretto Cream (recipe follows)
◦  Garnish: toasted sliced almonds, fresh mint sprigs


Recipe

Preheat oven to 350° F. Grease and flour a 10 x 5¼ x 3-inch loaf pan.

In a medium bowl, beat butter at medium speed with an electric mixer until creamy. Gradually add sugar, beating until fluffy. Add eggs, one at a time, beating well after each addition. Beat in strawberry extract and vanilla.

In a separate bowl, combine flour and salt; gradually add to butter mixture, beating just until combined. Stir in sour cream and chopped strawberries.

Spoon batter into prepared pan. Bake 1 hour, cover loosely with aluminum foil and bake an additional 40 to 45 minutes, or until a wooden pick inserted in center comes out clean. Cool cake in pan on a wire rack 10 minutes; remove from pan and cool completely.

Serve with fresh strawberries, strawberry syrup, and Amaretto Cream. Garnish with toasted almonds and mint, if desired.



Amaretto Cream:

â—¦ 1 cup heavy whipping cream
â—¦ ¼ cup sour cream
â—¦ ½ cup confectioners’ sugar
â—¦ 3 tablespoons almond-flavored liqueur

In a medium bowl, combine cream and sour cream. Beat at medium-high speed with an electric mixer until soft peaks form. Add confectioners’ sugar and almond-flavored liqueur, and beat until stiff peaks form. Cover and chill until ready to use.


Notes:
• 1 teaspoon almond extract may be substituted for almond-flavored liqueur, if desired.
