Absolutely! Here’s a mouthwatering strawberry bread recipe that you’ll surely enjoy:
Ingredients:
- 2 cups all-purpose flour
- 1 cup granulated sugar
- 1 teaspoon baking powder
- 1/2 teaspoon baking soda
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
- 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
- 2 cups fresh strawberries, hulled and chopped
- 1/2 cup vegetable oil
- 3 large eggs
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
For the optional glaze:
- 1 cup powdered sugar
- 2 tablespoons milk or lemon juice
Instructions:
- Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease and flour a 9×5-inch loaf pan or line it with parchment paper.
- In a large bowl, whisk together the flour, granulated sugar, baking powder, baking soda, salt, and ground cinnamon.
- In a separate bowl, whisk together the vegetable oil, eggs, and vanilla extract until well combined.
- Add the wet ingredients to the dry ingredients and gently mix until just combined. Be careful not to overmix; a few lumps are okay.
- Gently fold in the chopped strawberries into the batter.
- Pour the batter into the prepared loaf pan and spread it evenly.
- Bake in the preheated oven for about 55-65 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean with only a few moist crumbs.
- Allow the strawberry bread to cool in the pan for about 10 minutes, then remove it from the pan and transfer it to a wire rack to cool completely.
- If desired, prepare the glaze by mixing the powdered sugar and milk or lemon juice in a bowl until smooth. Drizzle the glaze over the cooled strawberry bread.
- Let the glaze set before slicing and serving.
- Slice and enjoy your mouthwatering strawberry bread with a cup of tea or coffee!
Note: You can customize this recipe by adding chopped nuts (such as walnuts or pecans) to the batter for added crunch and flavor. Adjust the sugar quantity based on your preference and the sweetness of the strawberries.
