STRAWBERRY LEMON LOVE CAKE

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F. Spray a 9-by-13-inch baking pan with cooking spray.
• Prepare the cake batter according to the package directions and pour it into the prepared pan. Set aside.
• Combine the ricotta, sugar, vanilla, eggs and 4 ounces (1/2 cup) of the mascarpone in the bowl of a stand mixer fitted with a paddle attachment. Beat on medium speed until smooth, scraping down the sides of the bowl with a rubber spatula as needed. Gently scoop the filling onto the cake batter, covering it completely.
• Bake until a skewer inserted in the center of the cake comes out clean and the strawberry layer has risen to the top, 50 to 60 minutes. Cool completely on a rack.
• Meanwhile, beat the remaining 12 ounces mascarpone in a medium bowl with an electric mixer on medium speed until smooth. Gradually add the milk, beating until smooth. Add the pudding mix and beat until smooth. Let stand until thickened, about 5 minutes. Spread the frosting over the cooled cake.
• Mix the diced strawberries and lemon zest together in a bowl. Top each slice of cake with a spoonful of the strawberries.

STRAWBERRY BREAD

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C). Butter and flour two 9 x 5-inch loaf pans.
• Slice strawberries and place in medium-sized bowl. Sprinkle lightly with sugar, and set aside while preparing batter.
• Combine flour, sugar, cinnamon, salt and baking soda in large bowl; mix well. Blend oil and eggs into strawberries. Add strawberry mixture to flour mixture, blending until dry ingredients are just moistened. Stir in pecans. Divide batter into pans.
• Bake in preheated oven until a tester inserted in the center comes out clean, 45 to 50 minutes (test each loaf separately). Let cool in pans on wire rack for 10 minutes. Turn loaves out of pans, and allow to cool before slicing.

STRAWBERRY LEMON YOGURT QUICK BREAD

Steps:

• For the bread. Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F. Line a 9x5 loaf pan with parchment paper.
• In a large bowl, whisk together the flour, sugar, lemon zest, baking soda, and salt until well combined. Then, using a spatula, gently fold in 1 cup of strawberries so that the strawberries are covered with the flour mixture. Set aside.
• In another bowl, whisk together the yogurt, butter, lemon juice, egg, and vanilla extract until creamy and uniform in appearance. Then, pour the wet mixture into the dry ingredients.
• Using a spatula, fold the mixture together until the batter is just combined (you no longer see dry ingredients and the dough will look a little raggedy, thick, and not completely smooth).
• Using clean hands, knead the dough a few times to form a loaf shape. Do not overmix. Pick up the dough and place it in the loaf pan. Top it with the remaining ½ cup of strawberries, pressing the strawberries down gently into the dough.
• Bake for 45-65 minutes, or until a wooden skewer (or cake tester) comes out clean in the center.
• For the glaze. As the bread bakes, whisk together the lemon juice and sugar until well combined. After the cake is ready and still hot, poke holes using a wooden or metal skewer or the tip of a knife into the top of the bread and pour the glaze over it.
• Let the bread cool slightly in the loaf pan before eating. Best enjoyed the same day it's baked.

STRAWBERRY-LEMON LOAF CAKE

Steps:

• Make the cake: Heat oven to 350 degrees. Spray a 9-by-5-inch loaf pan with nonstick cooking spray and set aside.
• In a small bowl, toss the strawberries with 1 tablespoon sugar to macerate while you prepare the cake batter.
• In a large bowl, combine the flour, lemon zest, baking powder, salt and remaining 1 cup sugar. Whisk to combine. In a second large bowl, combine the sour cream, oil, eggs, lemon juice and vanilla extract. Whisk to combine.
• Pour the wet ingredients into the dry, and stir gently to mix. Lift the macerated berries out of their liquid and add them to the batter. Gently fold in the berries until evenly incorporated.
• Pour the batter into the prepared loaf pan. Bake until a skewer inserted into the middle comes out clean, 60 to 70 minutes. If it looks to be browning on top too much, tent with aluminum foil. Cool it in the pan on a rack for about 10 minutes, then unmold the cake carefully and transfer to the rack to cool completely.
• Make the glaze: In a small bowl, combine the confectioners' sugar with the lemon zest and juice and stir until smooth. Pour the glaze over the cooled cake. Let stand until set.

HERB-INFUSED LEMON-STRAWBERRY LOAF

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 350°F. Butter an 8 1/2x4 1/2" loaf pan, then line with parchment paper, leaving a 2" overhang on 2 sides.
• Lightly crush herbs with your hands to help release oils, then transfer to a small saucepan. Add 3/4 cup butter and cook over medium heat, swirling pan often, until butter melts, about 5 minutes. Let cool to room temperature, 15-20 minutes.
• Meanwhile, stir 3/4 cup milk, 1 Tbsp. lemon zest, and 1/4 cup lemon juice in a small bowl. Whisk flour, baking powder, and salt in a medium bowl.
• Using an electric mixer on medium speed (or a stand mixer fitted with the whisk attachment), beat eggs and granulated sugar in a large bowl until light in color and doubled in size, 4-5 minutes. Discard herbs from butter, then beat butter into egg mixture until well combined. Add half of dry ingredients and beat just until combined. Beat in milk mixture, then add remaining dry ingredients and beat just until combined. Do not overmix.
• Pour half of batter into prepared pan; smooth top. Top with 3 Tbsp. jam and swirl through batter with a butter knife or chopstick. Pour remaining batter over; smooth top. Repeat swirling process with remaining 3 Tbsp. jam.
• Bake cake until a tester inserted into the center comes out with moist crumbs attached, 50-60 minutes.
• Transfer pan to a wire rack and let cool 20 minutes. Remove cake from pan using parchment overhang and let cool completely.
• Whisk powdered sugar and remaining 1 Tbsp. milk and 1 tsp. lemon zest in a small bowl until smooth. Spoon over top of cake and let drip down sides.
• Do Ahead: Cake can be baked 3 days ahead. Store in an airtight container at room temperature, or freeze up to 3 months.
