This recipe for strawberry bread uses fresh strawberries, milk, and lemon zest to create a tender, fruity and delicious bread that is perfect when served with coffee or tea.
Preheat your oven to 350 °F. Grease a standard loaf pan ( 9x5x3 inches approximately) and set aside.
In a large mixing bowl, beat together the butter and sugar until creamy and smooth. Beat in the eggs, one at a time until fully combined. Mix in the extract, lemon zest and milk until combined.
In a separate bowl, whisk together the flour, baking powder, and salt. Add into the butter mixture and stir until mixed in well. Toss the strawberries in the flour then stir in the berries until they are just mixed in.
Spoon into the prepared loaf pan, smoothing out the top. bake for 55-60 minutes or until a cake tester or toothpick inserted into the middle comes out clean. Remove from the oven and let cool until you can touch the pan safely. Turn out onto a rack to cool completely.
Glaze with my Vanilla Icing Glaze when fully cooled.
