Glazed strawberry-banana bread

I haven't actually tried this recipe. I just found it in a magazine yesterday, and plan on making it as soon as I'm off bed rest. It sounds so delicious.

1 1/2 C flour
1 tsp baking powder
3/4 tsp baking soda
1/2 C butter, softened
3 TBSP cream cheese, at room temp
1 1/4 C sugar
2 large eggs
1/2 C buttermilk
1 tsp vanilla extract
2 bananas, mashed
3/4 C strawberries, chopped
1/2 C strawberry preserves

Glaze
2 oz cream cheese, softened
2 TBSP strawberry preserves
2 TBSP water
1 TBSP mashed banana
1/2 tsp vanilla
1 C powdered sugar

*Preheat oven to 350. Butter and flour a loaf pan. In a medium bowl, combine flour, baking powder, and baking soda; set aside.
*In a large bowl, beat butter, cream cheese, and sugar until creamy. Beat in the eggs, buttermilk, and vanilla.
*Slowly add flour mixture to wet ingredients. Stir in bananas and fold in strawberries and preserves. Pour into loaf pan and bake for 1 hour and 15 minutes or until a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean. Let cool in pan for 10 minutes. Remove from pan and let cool completely on a wire rack.
*For the glaze, in a small bowl, beat cream cheese, strawberry preserves, water, banana, and vanilla until blended. Gradually beat in powdered sugar until blended. Spoon glaze over cooled bread loaf or slices.

-I seriously thing this would be so good, even without the glaze.
