1 cup of softened unsalted butter
04 -
1/2 cup of milk at room temperature
05 -
1 3/4 cups white sugar
→ Dry Mixture

1/2 teaspoon of salt

2 1/2 cups of sifted all-purpose flour

1 1/2 cups of fresh, chopped strawberries (hulled)

Dusting of powdered sugar
# Instructions:
01 -
Beat the butter with sugar until it turns creamy and light. Mix in one egg after another, making sure each is well combined before adding the next. Slowly blend in the vanilla.
02 -
In a separate bowl, whisk together your dry ingredients. Gradually fold them into your butter mix, switching off with milk — start and end with the dry!
03 -
Carefully stir the strawberries into the batter, trying not to mash them up.
04 -
Pour the batter into a prepared loaf pan (greased and floured). Bake at 350°F for 60-70 minutes. Cover the top with foil if it’s browning too fast after 40 minutes.
05 -
Let it sit in the pan for 10 minutes before transferring to a wire rack. Once fully cooled, sprinkle with powdered sugar for extra sweetness before serving.
# Notes:
01 -
Room temperature ingredients mix more smoothly

To bake evenly, turn the pan halfway through
