Ingredients

• 2 cups All-purpose flour
• 1 cup Granulated sugar
• 2 teaspoons Baking powder
• 0.5 teaspoons Salt
• 1 teaspoons Cinnamon
• 2 large Eggs
• 0.5 cups Whole milk
• 0.5 cups Vegetable oil
• 1 teaspoons Vanilla extract
• 1.5 cups Fresh strawberries (hulled and chopped)
• 0.5 cups Powdered sugar (optional for glaze)
• 2 tablespoons Lemon juice (optional for glaze)

Directions

Step 1

Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and grease a 9x5-inch loaf pan or line it with parchment paper.

Step 2

In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the flour, granulated sugar, baking powder, salt, and cinnamon until evenly combined.

Step 3

In a separate medium bowl, beat the eggs and then stir in the milk, vegetable oil, and vanilla extract until well blended.

Step 4

Pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients and mix until just combined. Avoid overmixing; the batter should be thick and slightly lumpy.

Step 5

Gently fold in the chopped fresh strawberries using a spatula, ensuring they're evenly distributed throughout the batter.

Step 6

Transfer the batter into the prepared loaf pan and smooth the top with the spatula.

Step 7

Bake in the preheated oven for 55-60 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center of the bread comes out clean.

Step 8

Let the bread cool in the pan for 10 minutes, then transfer it to a wire rack to cool completely.

Step 9

For an optional glaze, whisk together the powdered sugar and lemon juice in a small bowl until smooth. Drizzle the glaze over the cooled strawberry bread.

Step 10

Slice and serve fresh or store in an airtight container for up to 3 days at room temperature or up to a week in the fridge.
