Moist Strawberry Banana Loaf Cake

Looking for the perfect tea-time treat or a soft, fruity dessert to brighten your day? This Moist Strawberry Banana Loaf Cake brings together the sweetness of ripe bananas with bursts of fresh strawberries in every bite. It’s soft, tender, and full of flavor — the kind of loaf cake that feels like comfort in a slice.

Great for breakfast, afternoon coffee, or even as a light dessert, this loaf stays moist for days and is incredibly easy to make. The natural sweetness of bananas pairs beautifully with the slight tartness of strawberries, creating a balanced, melt-in-your-mouth texture. No frosting needed — just a dusting of powdered sugar or a drizzle of glaze if you like!

Ingredients

• 2 ripe bananas, mashed
  
• 1 cup fresh strawberries, chopped
  
• 1/2 cup unsalted butter, softened
  
• 2/3 cup granulated sugar
  
• 2 eggs
  
• 1 tsp vanilla extract
  
• 1 1/2 cups all-purpose flour
  
• 1 tsp baking soda
  
• 1/4 tsp salt
  
• 1/4 cup plain yogurt or sour cream (optional, for extra moisture)
  

 Instructions

Step 1: Preheat & Prepare.
Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease and line a loaf pan with parchment paper.

Step 2: Cream butter & sugar.
In a large bowl, beat the butter and sugar until light and fluffy. Add eggs one at a time, mixing well. Stir in vanilla.

Step 3: Mix in bananas & yogurt.
Add mashed bananas and yogurt (if using) and mix until combined.

Step 4: Combine dry ingredients.
In a separate bowl, whisk together flour, baking soda, and salt. Gradually fold into the wet mixture.

Step 5: Add strawberries.
Gently fold in the chopped strawberries, being careful not to overmix.

Step 6: Bake.
Pour batter into the prepared loaf pan. Bake for 50–60 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean.

Step 7: Cool & serve.
Allow to cool in the pan for 10–15 minutes, then transfer to a wire rack. Dust with powdered sugar or glaze, if desired.

Tips

• Use very ripe bananas for maximum sweetness and moisture.
  
• Toss strawberries in a bit of flour before folding them in to prevent sinking.
  
• This loaf freezes beautifully — slice and wrap individual pieces for easy grab-and-go snacks.
