Bake a wonderfully moist strawberry bread using fresh berries. This easy, one-bowl quick bread recipe results in a tender crumb and is topped with a simple, tangy lemon glaze.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 2 cups all-purpose flour
  • 1 teaspoon baking soda
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt
  • 1 cup granulated sugar
  • 1/2 cup unsalted butter, softened
  • 2 large eggs
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 1/2 cup milk
  • 1 tablespoon lemon zest
  • 1 1/2 cups fresh strawberries, hulled and diced
  • 1/4 cup white chocolate chips (optional mix-in)
  • For the Glaze: 1 cup powdered sugar
  • 2 tablespoons fresh lemon juice

Instructions

  1. Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease and flour a standard 9×5 inch loaf pan.
  2. In a medium bowl, whisk together the flour, baking soda, and salt. Set this dry mixture aside.
  3. In a large bowl, cream together the softened butter and granulated sugar until light and fluffy.
  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 milk to the wet ingredients, beginning and ending with the dry mixture. Mix until just combined; do not overmix.
  6. Gently fold in the lemon zest, diced fresh strawberries, and white chocolate chips, if using.
  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 lemon juice until smooth. Add more lemon juice, a few drops at a time, if the glaze is too thick.
  11. Once the bread is completely cool, drizzle the lemon glaze over the top. Slice and serve.

Notes

  • For the best results with fresh strawberries, gently toss the diced berries with one 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 do not have fresh strawberries, you can substitute them with frozen strawberries, but do not thaw them before adding them to the batter.
  • If you prefer a vanilla glaze instead of lemon, substitute the lemon juice with milk or water.
