Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 3/4 cups all-purpose flour
  • 1 1/2 teaspoons baking powder
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt
  • 1 cup granulated sugar
  • 1/2 cup (1 stick) unsalted butter, softened
  • 2 large eggs
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 1/2 cup milk
  • 1 cup fresh strawberries, hulled and chopped
  • 1/4 cup all-purpose flour (for coating strawberries)
  • For the Glaze: 1 cup powdered sugar
  • 2 tablespoons fresh lemon juice
  • 1 teaspoon lemon zest

Instructions

  1. Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease and flour a 9×5 inch loaf pan.
  2. In a medium bowl, whisk together the 1 3/4 cups flour and baking powder and salt. Set aside.
  3. In a large bowl, cream together the granulated sugar and softened butter until light and fluffy. Beat in the eggs one at a time, then 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. Gently toss the chopped fresh strawberries with the reserved 1/4 cup of flour. This prevents them from sinking to the bottom of the bread.
  6. 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. To make the glaze, whisk together the powdered sugar, lemon juice, and lemon zest until smooth. Drizzle over the cooled bread before serving.

Notes

  • For a more festive look, gently press a few extra strawberry slices onto the top of the batter before baking.
  • If you do not have fresh strawberries, you can substitute them with frozen, but do not thaw them first.
  • This sweet bread for Mom keeps well covered at room temperature for up to three days.
