Ingredients
- 1 ¾ cups all-purpose flour
- 1 tsp baking powder
- ½ tsp baking soda
- ½ tsp salt
- ¾ cup granulated sugar
- 2 large eggs
- ½ cup vegetable oil or melted butter
- ½ cup milk or buttermilk
- 1 tsp vanilla extract
- 1 ¼ cups fresh strawberries, chopped
- Optional glaze:
- ½ cup powdered sugar
- 1–2 tbsp milk or lemon juice
Instructions
-
Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease or line a 9×5-inch loaf pan.
-
In a large bowl, whisk together flour, baking powder, baking soda, and salt.
-
In another bowl, whisk eggs, sugar, oil, milk, and vanilla until smooth.
-
Gently stir the wet mixture into the dry ingredients just until combined.
-
Fold in the chopped strawberries, being careful not to overmix.
-
Pour the batter into the prepared loaf pan and smooth the top.
-
Bake for 50–60 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean.
-
Let cool in the pan for 10 minutes, then transfer to a wire rack.
-
Optional: Drizzle glaze over the cooled loaf before serving.
Notes
- Add lemon zest to the batter for extra brightness.
- Fold in chopped nuts or white chocolate chips for extra flavor and texture.
- Use firm, ripe strawberries for best results—frozen strawberries can be used if thawed and patted dry.
