Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 3/4 cups all-purpose flour
  • 1 1/2 teaspoons baking powder
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt
  • 1/2 cup unsalted butter, softened
  • 1 cup granulated sugar
  • 2 large eggs
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 1/2 cup milk
  • 1 1/2 cups fresh strawberries, hulled and chopped
  • 1 tablespoon all-purpose flour (for coating berries)
  • 1 cup powdered sugar (for glaze)
  • 2 tablespoons milk or cream (for glaze)
  • 1/2 teaspoon lemon juice (for glaze)

Instructions

  1. Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease and flour a standard 9×5 inch loaf pan.
  2. In a medium bowl, whisk together the 1 3/4 cups flour, baking powder, and salt. Set aside.
  3. In a large bowl, cream the softened butter and 1 cup sugar together until light and fluffy. Beat in the eggs one at a time, mixing well after each addition. Stir in the vanilla extract.
  4. Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients, alternating with the milk, beginning and ending with the dry mixture. Mix until just combined; do not overmix.
  5. In a small bowl, toss the chopped strawberries with 1 tablespoon of flour. This helps prevent them from sinking during baking.
  6. Gently fold the floured strawberries into the batter.
  7. Pour the batter into the prepared loaf pan.
  8. Bake for 50 to 60 minutes, or until a wooden skewer inserted into the center comes out clean.
  9. Let the bread cool in the pan for 10 minutes before turning it out onto a wire rack to cool completely.
  10. Prepare the glaze: Whisk together the powdered sugar, 2 tablespoons milk, and lemon juice until smooth. Add more milk, a half teaspoon at a time, if the glaze is too thick.
  11. Drizzle the glaze evenly over the cooled strawberry bread. Allow the glaze to set before slicing and serving.

Notes

  • For best results when using fresh berries, ensure they are dry before tossing them with flour.
  • If using frozen strawberries, do not thaw them before adding them to the batter.
  • Store leftover glazed strawberry bread tightly wrapped at room temperature for up to three days.
