Strawberry Bread is a moist, sweet loaf filled with juicy strawberries and topped with a simple glaze. It’s the perfect treat for breakfast, a snack, or dessert, balancing fruity sweetness with a rich, tender crumb.

Ingredients

1 ½ cups all-purpose flour + 1 tablespoon for dusting strawberries

1 teaspoon baking powder

¾ cup granulated sugar

½ cup salted Challenge butter (1 stick), softened

¼ teaspoon salt

2 large eggs (room temperature)

½ cup light cream

1 tablespoon fresh lemon juice

1 ¼ cups fresh strawberries (diced, divided)

For the Glaze:

2 tablespoons powdered sugar

1 teaspoon milk (or as needed)

Instructions

  1. Preheat the oven: Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease an 8×4-inch metal loaf pan.
  2. Prepare the dry ingredients: In a bowl, whisk together the flour, baking powder, and salt. Set aside.
  3. Cream the wet ingredients: In a separate medium bowl, cream together the sugar and softened butter until light and fluffy. Add the eggs, light cream, and lemon juice, mixing well to combine.
  4. Combine the wet and dry ingredients: Add the dry mixture to the wet ingredients and stir gently until just combined. Be careful not to overmix.
  5. Fold in the strawberries: Set aside 2 tablespoons of the diced strawberries for the topping. Toss the remaining strawberries with 1 tablespoon of flour to coat them evenly. Gently fold the floured strawberries into the batter.
  6. Transfer to the loaf pan: Pour the batter into the prepared loaf pan and spread it evenly. Top with the reserved strawberries.
  7. Bake the bread: Bake for 60-70 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean. Remove from the pan and let cool on a wire rack.
  8. Prepare the glaze: While the bread cools, combine powdered sugar and milk in a small bowl. Stir until smooth, adding more milk if needed to achieve the desired consistency.
  9. Glaze and serve: Once the bread has cooled completely, drizzle the glaze over the top and let it set before slicing and serving.

Notes

For added flavor, consider adding chopped nuts or chocolate chips to the batter.

For a citrusy twist, add lemon zest to the batter.

For a vegan version, use plant-based butter, almond or oat milk, and a flax egg substitute.

If using frozen strawberries, thaw and drain them before use to avoid excess moisture in the bread.
