Ingredients
  

Main Ingredients

  • 2 cups all-purpose flour
  • 2 tsp baking powder
  • 0.5 tsp salt
  • 0.5 cup unsalted butter melted
  • 1 cup sugar
  • 2 large eggs
  • 2 tsp vanilla extract
  • 1 tbsp fresh lemon juice
  • 0.25 cup milk
  • 2 cups diced strawberries about 1 lb

Strawberry Glaze

  • 3 tbsp finely diced strawberries
  • 1 tbsp heavy cream
  • 1 cup powdered sugar

Instructions
 

Preparation Steps

  • 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!
