Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 3/4 cups all-purpose flour
  • 1 1/2 teaspoons baking powder
  • 1/2 teaspoon baking soda
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt
  • 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
  • 1/2 cup (1 stick) unsalted butter, softened
  • 1 cup granulated sugar
  • 2 large eggs
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 1/2 cup buttermilk
  • 1 1/2 cups fresh strawberries, hulled and diced
  • 1/2 cup powdered sugar (for glaze)
  • 1 tablespoon milk or lemon juice (for glaze)

Instructions

  1. Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease and flour a 9×5 inch loaf pan.
  2. In a medium bowl, whisk together the flour, baking powder, baking soda, salt, and cinnamon. Set this dry mixture aside.
  3. In a large bowl, cream together the softened butter and granulated sugar with an electric mixer until light and fluffy. This step builds the structure for a soft loaf.
  4. Beat in the eggs one at a time, mixing well after each addition. Stir in the vanilla extract.
  5. Alternate adding the dry ingredients and the buttermilk to the wet ingredients, beginning and ending with the dry mixture. Mix only until just combined; do not overmix the batter.
  6. Gently fold in the diced fresh strawberries using a spatula.
  7. Pour the batter into the prepared loaf pan and spread evenly.
  8. Bake for 50 to 60 minutes, or until a wooden skewer inserted into the center comes out clean.
  9. Let the bread cool in the pan for 10 minutes before turning it out onto a wire rack to cool completely.
  10. While the bread cools, prepare the glaze: Whisk together the powdered sugar and milk or lemon juice until smooth. Add more liquid, drop by drop, to reach a drizzly consistency.
  11. Once the bread is completely cool, drizzle the sweet glaze over the top. Allow the glaze to set before slicing and serving this homemade fruit bread.

Notes

  • For an extra layer of flavor, gently toss the diced strawberries with 1 tablespoon of the flour mixture before folding them into the batter. This helps prevent the fruit from sinking to the bottom of the loaf.
  • If you prefer a streusel topping, combine 1/4 cup flour, 1/4 cup brown sugar, and 2 tablespoons cold butter until crumbly, and sprinkle over the batter before baking.
  • This bread is excellent toasted the next day with salted butter.
