Equipment
- Mixing bowls
- Whisk
- rubber spatula
- 9×5-inch loaf pan
- wire cooling rack
Ingredients
- 3/4 cup granulated sugar
- 1/2 cup milk
- 1/2 cup vegetable oil
- 1 large egg
- 1 tsp vanilla extract
- 2 cups all-purpose flour
- 2 tsp baking powder
- 1/4 tsp salt
- 2 cups fresh strawberries, diced
- 2 tbsp all-purpose flour (for strawberries)
- 2 cups powdered sugar
- 2 tbsp butter, melted
- 1/2 cup fresh strawberries, diced (for glaze)
- 1/2 tsp vanilla extract (for glaze)
- milk, as needed for glaze consistency
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease a 9×5-inch loaf pan or line it with parchment paper.
- In a medium bowl, whisk together the sugar, milk, oil, egg, and vanilla extract until smooth.
- Stir in the salt and baking powder. Gradually fold in the flour just until combined, being careful not to overmix.
- Toss the diced strawberries with flour, then gently fold them into the batter.
- Pour the batter into the prepared pan and bake for 50–55 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean. Cool for 10 minutes, then transfer to a wire rack.
- In a small bowl, mix powdered sugar, melted butter, diced strawberries, and vanilla extract. Add milk if needed to reach a pourable glaze.
- Drizzle the glaze over the completely cooled bread. Let set before slicing and serving.
Notes
Dice strawberries small for even distribution and toss them with flour to prevent sinking. Allow the bread to cool completely before glazing so the glaze sets nicely. Store tightly covered at room temperature for up to 3 days.
