Description
Delight in this sweet strawberry bread topped with a luscious strawberry glaze, perfect for any occasion.
Ingredients
- 2 cups all-purpose flour
- 1 cup sugar
- 1 teaspoon baking soda
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
- 1/4 cup unsalted butter, softened
- 2 large eggs
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1/2 cup milk
- 1 cup fresh strawberries, chopped
- 1 cup powdered sugar
- 2 tablespoons strawberry jam
- 1 tablespoon milk (for glaze)
Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and grease a loaf pan to prevent sticking.
- In a large mixing bowl, combine the flour, sugar, baking soda, and salt. Mix well.
- In another bowl, cream together the softened butter and sugar. Beat until light and fluffy.
- Add the eggs, one at a time, ensuring each is mixed in thoroughly. Stir in the vanilla extract and milk until combined.
- Gradually fold the dry ingredients into the wet mixture until just combined. Gently fold in the chopped strawberries to keep them intact.
- Pour the batter into the prepared loaf pan, smoothing the top if necessary. Bake for 50-60 minutes or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.
- For the glaze, whisk together the powdered sugar, strawberry jam, and milk until smooth and creamy.
- Once cooled, drizzle the glaze over the top of the bread. Slice, serve, and enjoy this delicious treat!
Notes
Use fresh, ripe strawberries for the best flavor. Consider adding chopped nuts or a sprinkle of cinnamon for an added layer of flavor.
