Ingredients

• 1/2 cup butter, softened
• 1 cup sugar less 2 Tbsp.
• 2 Tbsp. strawberry jello (my addition)
• 1 tsp. almond extract or imitation strawberry extract (my addition)
• 2 eggs, separated
• 2 cups flour
• 1 tsp. baking powder
• 1 tsp. baking soda
• 1 (10 oz.) pkg. frozen strawberries, thawed

Instructions

1. In a large bowl, cream together butter, sugar, jello and extract. Add egg yolks to butter mixture, one at a time, until light and fluffy. Sift in flour, baking powder and baking soda and mix well.
2. Drain juice from strawberries saving 1/4 cup juice. Add the juice to mixture and fold in drained strawberries. In a separate bowl, beat egg whites to stiff peaks. Fold egg whites into mixture and spoon mixture into a greased 5 x 9 loaf pan. Lightly drop pan to release any air bubbles.
