Ingredients
Scale
For the Bread:
- 2 cups all-purpose flour
- 1 teaspoon baking powder
- 1/2 teaspoon baking soda
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
- 1/2 cup unsalted butter, softened
- 3/4 cup granulated sugar
- 2 large eggs
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1/2 cup sour cream or Greek yogurt
- 1 1/2 cups fresh strawberries, diced
- 1 tablespoon flour (for coating strawberries)
For the Glaze:
- 1 cup powdered sugar
- 2–3 tablespoons strawberry puree (from about 4–5 strawberries)
- 1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease a 9×5-inch loaf pan and line with parchment paper.
- In a medium bowl, whisk together flour, baking powder, baking soda, and salt. Set aside.
- In a large bowl, cream together butter and sugar until light and fluffy (about 2-3 minutes).
- Add eggs one at a time, beating well after each addition. Mix in vanilla extract.
- Alternate adding the dry ingredients and sour cream, beginning and ending with the dry ingredients. Mix until just combined.
- Toss diced strawberries with 1 tablespoon flour (this prevents sinking), then gently fold into the batter.
- Pour batter into prepared loaf pan and bake for 50-60 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted comes out clean.
- Cool in pan for 10 minutes, then transfer to a wire rack to cool completely.
- Make the glaze: Blend 4-5 strawberries into a puree. Whisk together with powdered sugar and vanilla until smooth. Drizzle over cooled bread.
Notes
For best results, use fresh strawberries. Frozen can be used but may make the bread more moist. If the glaze is too thick, add more strawberry puree 1 teaspoon at a time. Store covered at room temperature for 2 days or refrigerate for up to 5 days.
