Strawberries are a symbol of summer for me and although I don´t grow them at home, the few pieces are worth to buy (at least for a cake :D). I wanted something that would last a long journey in train, so a creamy cake was out of option. After all, a strawberry-banana bread came out as a winner of this battle. Although in train, I had to have tissues by my side all the time, it was worth the taste.
