→ For the Glaze
10 -
3 tablespoons diced fresh strawberries
11 -
1 cup powdered sugar (120g)
12 -
1 teaspoon whole milk
# Instructions:
01 -
Heat your oven to 350°F and give a 9x5-inch loaf pan a light coat of baking spray.
02 -
In a bowl, whisk together the sugar, milk, oil, egg, and vanilla until they're well combined.
03 -
In another bowl, stir 2 cups of flour, baking powder, and salt together until evenly mixed.
04 -
Gently add the flour mixture to your wet ingredients and stir just until combined - don't overmix or your bread will get tough!
05 -
Toss your diced strawberries with 2 tablespoons of flour in a small bowl - this prevents them from sinking to the bottom of your bread.
06 -
Fold the flour-coated strawberries into your batter and pour everything into your prepared loaf pan.
07 -
Bake for 55-60 minutes until a wooden pick comes out clean when inserted in the center. Try not to open the oven door while baking!
08 -
Let the bread cool in the pan for 10 minutes, then transfer to a wire rack to cool completely.
09 -
Mash the strawberries in a small bowl, then stir in powdered sugar and milk until smooth. You might need more sugar if your berries are very juicy.
10 -
Spoon the glaze over your cooled bread and let it set for about 30 minutes before slicing and enjoying!
# Notes:
01 -
This strawberry bread is incredibly moist and packed with fresh strawberry flavor in every bite.
02 -
The glaze should be thick - adjust with more powdered sugar if needed.
03 -
You can save a few strawberries to sprinkle on top of the batter before baking for a prettier loaf.
04 -
For best results, measure flour with a kitchen scale or use the spoon-and-level method.
05 -
If you're out of strawberries for the glaze, cream cheese frosting makes a delicious alternative!
