Tropical Strawberry & Mango Loaf

Let me tell you how easy and delicious this loaf was… This is the kind of recipe that is a must-keep. It is soft and fruity on the inside with a crispy outer crust.

This tropical loaf is perfect for breakfast or even dessert. You could also turn them into muffins so they can be easy grab-and-go treats.

Ingredients:

For the Bread:

• 3/4 cup granulated sugar

• 1/2 cup milk

• 1/2 cup butter

• 1 large egg

• 1 teaspoon vanilla extract 

• 2 cups all-purpose flour

• 2 teaspoons baking powder

• 1/4 teaspoon salt

• 1 cup diced strawberries

• 1 cup diced mango

For the Glaze:

• 2 cups powdered sugar

• 2 tablespoons butter

• 1/3 cup finely diced strawberries and mango

• 1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract 

• 1-2 tablespoons heavy cream

you can use melted butter for the glaze but I recommend whipped so it has a little more body.

Make sure not to over mix your ingredients fold them together until well combined. This makes for a perfectly fluffy loaf.

I also squeezed a some strawberries and mango to incorporate a little juice to the mixture.

Bake at 350 for 50-55 minutes. Let the loaf cool completely before glazing.
