Ingredients

Scale
  • 2 cups all-purpose flour
  • 1 teaspoon baking soda
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt
  • 1/2 teaspoon ground cinnamon
  • 1 cup granulated sugar
  • 1/2 cup unsalted butter, softened
  • 2 large eggs
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 1/2 cup buttermilk
  • 1 1/2 cups fresh strawberries, hulled and diced
  • For the Glaze: 1 cup powdered sugar
  • 1 tablespoon milk
  • 1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract

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 flour, baking soda, salt, and cinnamon. Set this dry mixture aside.
  3. In a large bowl, cream together the softened butter and granulated sugar until light and fluffy.
  4. Beat in the eggs one at a time, mixing well after each addition. Stir in the vanilla extract.
  5. Alternate adding the dry ingredients and the buttermilk to the wet ingredients, beginning and ending with the dry mixture. Mix only until just combined; do not overmix.
  6. Gently fold in the diced fresh strawberries using a spatula.
  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 carefully turning it out onto a wire rack to cool completely.
  10. While the bread cools, prepare the glaze: Whisk together the powdered sugar, milk, and vanilla extract until smooth. Add more milk, a drop at a time, if the glaze is too thick.
  11. Drizzle the sweet glaze over the cooled strawberry bread before slicing and serving.

Notes

  • For the moistest bread, gently toss the diced strawberries with 1 tablespoon of the flour mixture before folding them into the batter. This helps prevent the fruit from sinking.
  • If you do not have buttermilk, mix 1/2 cup of regular milk with 1/2 teaspoon of white vinegar or lemon juice and let it sit for 5 minutes before using.
  • This homemade strawberry bread tastes great toasted the next day with salted butter.
