Ingredients Method Notes

Ingredients
  

  • 1 1/2 cups (190g) all-purpose flour
  • 1 tsp baking powder
  • 1/2 tsp baking soda
  • 1/4 tsp fine sea salt
  • 1/2 cup (113g) unsalted butter, softened
  • 3/4 cup (150g) granulated sugar
  • 2 large eggs
  • 2 medium ripe bananas, mashed (about 1 cup)
  • 1 tsp vanilla extract
  • 1 cup (150g) chopped fresh strawberries
  • 1 tbsp all-purpose flour, for dusting the strawberries

Method
 

  1. Preheat oven to 350°F and grease a 9x5-inch loaf pan. Mash bananas in a large bowl, then whisk in butter, sugar, eggs, and vanilla until creamy.
  2. Add the 1 1/2 cups flour, baking powder, baking soda, and salt. Fold with a spatula just until no dry streaks remain, about 30 seconds.
  3. Toss strawberries with the 1 tbsp flour, then gently fold them into the batter with 4–5 strokes.
  4. Scrape batter into the pan, smooth the top, and bake for 50–60 minutes until a toothpick inserted in the center has moist crumbs.
  5. Cool in the pan 10 minutes, then turn out onto a rack and cool completely before slicing with a serrated knife.

Notes

If the loaf browns too quickly, tent it loosely with foil after 45 minutes. The cake slices cleanest when fully cooled and chilled briefly in the fridge.
