Ingredients
- 2 cups all-purpose flour
- 2 teaspoons baking powder
- 0.5 teaspoons salt
- 0.5 cups unsalted butter, softened
- 1 cups granulated sugar
- 2 eggs
- 2 teaspoons vanilla extract
- 0.5 cups milk
- 1 cups fresh strawberries, chopped
- 2 tablespoons powdered sugar (optional, for garnish)
Directions
Step 1
Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease and line a 9x5-inch loaf pan with parchment paper for easy removal.
Step 2
In a medium bowl, whisk together the all-purpose flour, baking powder, and salt. Set aside.
Step 3
In a large mixing bowl, using a hand or stand mixer, cream the softened butter and granulated sugar together until light and fluffy, about 2-3 minutes.
Step 4
Add the eggs one at a time, beating well after each addition. Mix in the vanilla extract.
Step 5
Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients in three additions, alternating with the milk. Start and end with the dry mixture. Mix until just combined—do not overmix.
Step 6
Gently fold the chopped strawberries into the batter with a spatula, ensuring they are evenly distributed.
Step 7
Pour the batter into the prepared loaf pan and smooth the top with a spatula.
Step 8
Bake in the preheated oven for 55-60 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean or with a few crumbs attached.
Step 9
Remove the loaf from the oven and let it cool in the pan for 10 minutes. Then transfer it to a wire rack to cool completely.
Step 10
Once fully cooled, sprinkle the top lightly with powdered sugar, if desired.
