Aunt Saunny
3 cups all-purpose flour
2 cups sugar
1 teaspoon salt
1 teaspoon cinnamon
1 teaspoon baking soda
1 1/2 cups vegetable oil
4 eggs, beaten
1 teaspoon red food coloring
2 (10 ounce) packages frozen strawberries, thawed and drained 1 (8
ounce) package cream cheese
Preheat oven to 350 degrees. Grease two 9x5 inch loaf pans. In a large
mixing bowl, stir together the flour, sugar, salt, cinnamon and baking
soda. Add oil, beaten eggs, food coloring; mix well. Drain the
strawberries and reserve 1/2 cup of the juice for the filling. Fold in
the drained strawberries. Pour batter evenly into the prepared pans.
Bake at 350 degrees for 50 to 60 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted
into the center of the loaf comes out clean. Let cool in the pan for 10
minutes, then remove to a wire rack to cool completely. In a medium
mixing bowl, mix together the cream cheese with reserved strawberry
juice. Slice the loaf twice horizontally to make three layers. Spread
the cream cheese mixture between the layers and reassemble the loaf.
Wrap loaves in plastic and chill in the refrigerator to set the filling.
Slice and serve chilled.
