Ingredients

• 2 cups All-purpose flour
• 1 cup Granulated sugar
• 2 teaspoons Baking powder
• 0.5 teaspoons Salt
• 1 cup Fresh strawberries, diced
• 0.5 cup Heavy cream
• 0.5 cup Whole milk
• 0.25 cup Unsalted butter, melted
• 2 pieces Large eggs
• 1 teaspoons Vanilla extract
• 2 tablespoons Powdered sugar (optional, for garnish)

Directions

Step 1

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

Step 2

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

Step 3

In a small bowl, toss the diced strawberries with 1 tablespoon of the flour mixture to coat. This prevents them from sinking to the bottom of the bread while baking.

Step 4

In another mixing bowl, whisk together the heavy cream, whole milk, melted butter, eggs, and vanilla extract until smooth and well combined.

Step 5

Gradually pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients, stirring gently with a spatula or wooden spoon until just combined. Be careful not to overmix, as this can make the bread dense.

Step 6

Gently fold in the floured strawberries, distributing them evenly throughout the batter.

Step 7

Pour the batter into the prepared loaf pan, smoothing the top with a spatula.

Step 8

Bake in the preheated oven for 50-55 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center of the bread comes out clean.

Step 9

Remove the bread 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

Optional: Dust the top of the bread with powdered sugar before serving for a touch of sweetness and decoration.

Step 11

Slice the bread and enjoy as-is or with an extra dollop of whipped cream for a more indulgent treat!
