Ingredients

Scale
  • 2 cups (250g) all-purpose flour
  • 1 cup (200g) granulated sugar
  • 1 tsp baking powder
  • ½ tsp baking soda
  • ½ tsp salt
  • 2 large eggs, room temperature
  • ½ cup (120ml) buttermilk
  • ½ cup (115g) unsalted butter, melted and slightly cooled
  • 1 tsp pure vanilla extract
  • 1 ½ cups (225g) fresh strawberries, chopped
  • For the Vanilla Glaze:
  • 1 cup (120g) powdered sugar
  • 2 tbsp (30ml) milk or cream
  • 1 tsp pure vanilla extract

Instructions

  1. Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and grease your loaf pan well with butter or non-stick spray.
  2. In a large bowl, whisk together 2 cups all-purpose flour, 1 cup granulated sugar, 1 teaspoon baking powder, ½ teaspoon baking soda, and ½ teaspoon salt until evenly combined.
  3. In a separate medium bowl, beat 2 large eggs until light. Add ½ cup melted butter, ½ cup buttermilk, and 1 teaspoon vanilla extract. Whisk until smooth and well mixed.
  4. Pour the wet mixture into the dry ingredients. Using a spatula, fold just until combined — don’t overmix.
  5. Carefully fold in 1 ½ cups chopped fresh strawberries.
  6. Transfer the batter into your prepared loaf pan, smoothing the top gently with a spatula.
  7. Bake for 55-60 minutes. Check doneness by inserting a toothpick into the center — if it comes out clean or with a few moist crumbs, it’s ready. If batter sticks, bake for another 5 minutes and check again.
  8. Remove the bread from the oven and let it cool in the pan for about 15 minutes. Then, transfer to a cooling rack to cool fully before glazing.
  9. While the bread cools, whisk together 1 cup powdered sugar, 2 tablespoons milk, and 1 teaspoon vanilla extract in a small bowl until smooth and pourable. Adjust with more milk or sugar for desired thickness.
  10. Once the loaf is cool, drizzle the vanilla glaze evenly over the top. Let it set for about 10 minutes before slicing.

Notes

Do not overmix the batter to avoid tough bread. Use fresh or properly thawed and drained frozen strawberries to prevent sogginess. Tent with foil if the bread browns too fast. Adjust glaze thickness by adding milk slowly. For gluten-free, substitute flour with gluten-free blend and adjust moisture. For dairy-free, use coconut yogurt and non-dairy milk.
