This moist and delicious strawberry bread is made with fresh diced strawberries and topped with a sweet strawberry glaze. Perfect for breakfast, dessert, or a summer treat!
Preheat oven to 350°F (180°C). Grease a 9×5 loaf pan very well with non-stick baking spray.
In a medium bowl, combine the flour, baking powder, and salt.
Combine the melted butter and sugar, then add the eggs and vanilla extract and mix together until well combined.
Add the lemon juice and milk and mix until well incorporated.
Add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients and mix just until combined. Do not over-mix.
Fold in the 2 cups of diced strawberries.
Pour the batter into the prepared loaf pan and bake for 60–65 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean.
Remove from oven and let cool in the pan for 10 minutes, then transfer to a cooling rack to cool completely.
To make the glaze, add 3 tablespoons of finely diced strawberries to a bowl. Mash with a fork or muddler, then mix in 1 tablespoon of heavy cream.
Add powdered sugar and whisk until smooth. Add additional cream, 1 teaspoon at a time, until the glaze is spreadable.
Pour or spread the glaze over the cooled bread.
Store in an airtight container. Can be kept at room temperature for up to 24 hours, then refrigerated for 2–3 more days.
Notes
Tip: For best results, use fresh strawberries. Let the bread cool completely before glazing to prevent melting. Great for gifting or summer gatherings!
