Ingredients
Strawberry Bread
- 2 cups (260g) all-purpose flour
- 2 tsp baking powder
- 1/2 tsp salt
- 1/2 cup (112g) unsalted butter, melted
- 1 cup (207g) sugar
- 2 large eggs
- 2 tsp vanilla extract
- 1 tbsp fresh lemon juice
- ¼ cup (60ml) milk
- 2 cups (270g) diced strawberries (about 1 lb)
Strawberry Icing
- 3 tbsp (30g) finely diced strawberries
- 1–2 tbsp heavy cream
- 1 cup (115g) powdered sugar
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 350°F (180°C). Grease a 9×5 loaf pan very well with non-stick baking spray.
- In a medium size bowl, combine the flour, baking powder and salt.
- Combine the melted butter and sugar, then add the eggs and vanilla extract and mix together until well combined.
- Add the lemon juice and milk and mix together until well combined.
- Add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients and mix just until combined. Don’t over-mix.
- Fold in the diced strawberries.
- Pour the batter into the loaf pan and bake for 60-65 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted in the middle comes out clean.
- Remove the loaf from the oven and allow to cool for about 10 minutes, and then remove to a cooling rack to cool completely.
- To make the icing, add the diced strawberries to a medium sized bowl. Mash with a fork or a muddler, then add 1 tablespoon of heavy cream.
- Add the powdered sugar and whisk together until well combined. It may start out thick and seem like it won’t come together, but it should. Add additional cream, a teaspoon at a time, if needed to get a spreadable icing consistency.
- Pour/spread the icing over the cooled bread.
- Store in an air-tight container. You can store it at room temperature for about 24 hours, and refrigerate it after that for another 2-3 days. The icing on top will add moisture, so expect it to be quite moist on top.
