Ingredients:
For the strawberry bread:
- 1/2 cup unsalted butter, softened
- 3/4 cup granulated sugar
- 3 large eggs
- 1/2 cup sour cream (or Greek yogurt)
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract (optional)
- 2 cups all-purpose flour
- 1/2 teaspoon baking powder
- 1/2 teaspoon baking soda
- 1/4 teaspoon salt
- 1/2 teaspoon ground cinnamon (optional)
- 2 cups strawberries, sliced (fresh or frozen)
For the strawberry glaze:
- 1/2 cup strawberries, finely chopped or coarsely mashed
- 2 cups powdered/confectioners sugar
- 1 tablespoon lemon juice
Directions:
For the strawberry bread:
Cream the butter and sugar in a bowl.
Beat in the eggs, one at a time, followed by the sour cream and vanilla.
Mix the flour, baking powder, baking soda, salt and cinnamon in another bowl.
Mix the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients before mixing in the strawberries.
Pour the batter into a greased 9X5 inch loaf pan and bake in a preheated 350F/180C oven until a toothpick pushed into the center comes out clean, about 50-60 minutes.
For the strawberry glaze:
Mix everything until the sugar has melted into a thick sauce before drizzling over the cooled bread.
Option: Add 1/2 cup coarsely chopped toasted pecans, or other nut.
Option: Add 1/2 cup white chocolate chips!
Option: Use less confectioners sugar for a sauce rather than a glaze.
