Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 3/4 cups all-purpose flour
  • 1 1/2 teaspoons baking powder
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt
  • 1 cup granulated sugar
  • 1 large egg, room temperature
  • 1/2 cup unsalted butter, melted
  • 1/2 cup milk (whole or 2%)
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 1 1/2 cups fresh strawberries, hulled and quartered
  • 1/2 cup powdered sugar (for glaze)
  • 2 tablespoons milk or fresh strawberry 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 large bowl, whisk together the flour, baking powder, and salt. This is your dry mix.
  3. Add the granulated sugar to the dry mix and whisk briefly to combine.
  4. In a separate small bowl, whisk together the egg, melted butter, milk, and vanilla extract.
  5. Pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients. Mix with a spatula until just combined. Do not overmix; a few streaks of flour are fine. Overmixing develops gluten and makes the bread tough.
  6. Gently fold in the quartered fresh strawberries. Distribute them evenly throughout the batter.
  7. Pour the batter into your prepared loaf pan and spread it evenly.
  8. Bake for 50 to 60 minutes, or until a wooden skewer inserted into the center comes out clean or with moist crumbs attached.
  9. Let the bread cool in the pan for 10 minutes before carefully turning it out onto a wire rack to cool completely.
  10. While the bread cools, prepare the glaze: Whisk together the powdered sugar and 2 tablespoons of milk or strawberry juice until smooth. Add more liquid, a half teaspoon at a time, if the glaze is too thick.
  11. Once the bread is completely cool, drizzle the strawberry glaze over the top. Allow the glaze to set before slicing and serving your homemade strawberry loaf.

Notes

  • To prevent the strawberries from sinking to the bottom of the loaf, gently toss them with one tablespoon of the measured flour before folding them into the batter.
  • For the best flavor and texture, use fresh, ripe strawberries. If your berries are very large, chop them into smaller, bite-sized pieces.
  • If you want a slightly tangy glaze, substitute the milk in the glaze with fresh lemon juice.
