Ingredients:
For the Strawberry Bread:
3/4 cup sugar
1/2 cup milk
1/2 cup vegetable oil
1 egg
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
2 cups all-purpose flour
2 teaspoons baking powder
1/4 teaspoon salt
2 cups strawberries, diced
2 tablespoons all-purpose flour
For the Strawberry Glaze:
2 cups powdered sugar
2 tablespoons butter, melted
1/2 cup strawberries, diced
1/2 teaspoon vanilla
Instructions:
Begin by preheating your oven to 350 degrees Fahrenheit (175 degrees Celsius). Prepare a 9×5-inch loaf pan by greasing it and set it aside.
In a medium mixing bowl, combine the sugar, milk, oil, egg, and vanilla extract. Stir these ingredients together until they’re well blended.
Add the salt and baking powder into the mixture. Next, gradually incorporate the flour, stirring the mixture just enough to combine everything together without overmixing.
Take your diced strawberries and toss them with 2 tablespoons of flour. This will prevent them from sinking during the baking process. Gently fold these flour-coated strawberries into your batter.
Pour the batter into your prepared loaf pan. Bake it for about 50-55 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center of the loaf comes out clean.
Allow the baked bread to cool in the pan for 10 minutes, then transfer it to a wire rack to cool completely.
While the bread is cooling, it’s time to prepare the glaze. In a bowl, combine the powdered sugar, melted butter, diced strawberries, and vanilla. Stir them together until the mixture becomes smooth and well combined.
Once the bread is completely cool, drizzle your delicious strawberry glaze over the top.
Please Note: If your strawberries are extra juicy, the glaze should reach the desired consistency without adding any milk. If the glaze appears too thick, you can add 1-2 tablespoons of milk to thin it out until you have the perfect glaze.
Serve this Delectable Strawberry Bread at your next brunch or as a sweet treat to accompany your afternoon tea and watch as it becomes the star of the show!
