Strawberry Bread
Moist and sweet strawberry bread with a delicious glaze makes for a great breakfast, snack, or even dessert!
-
Preheat oven to 350°F. Grease an 8×4-inch baking pan.
-
In a bowl, combine flour, baking powder, and salt with a whisk. Set aside.
-
In a separate medium bowl, cream sugar and butter together. Add eggs, cream, and lemon juice. Mix well to combine.
-
Add the dry mixture to the butter mixture and stir just until combined. Do not overmix.
-
Set aside 2 tablespoons of strawberries for topping the bread. Toss the remaining strawberries with 1 tablespoon flour. Remove any excess flour and very gently fold them into the batter.
-
Spread the batter into the baking pan and top with reserved strawberries.
-
Bake for 60-70 minutes or until a toothpick comes out clean. Remove from pan and cool on a wire rack.
Glaze
-
Once the bread has cooled, combine the glaze ingredients in a bowl until smooth.
-
Drizzle over the top of the bread and let set.
- If using whole berries like blueberries, toss them in flour first so they don’t sink to the bottom of the batter.
- Ensure the butter and eggs are softened before mixing and cream until light and fluffy before adding other ingredients.
- Avoid overmixing the batter or the bread will be tough and chewy.
- The pan can be greased or lined with parchment paper.
- Use a metal baking pan for the best results.
- Be sure not to over bake the bread, a toothpick inserted in the middle should come out clean.
- Cool completely before slicing.
