This delightful Strawberry Bread is a moist and flavorful quick bread bursting with fresh strawberries and a hint of cinnamon. Topped with a luscious strawberry glaze, it’s perfect for breakfast, brunch, or a sweet snack that celebrates fresh seasonal fruit.

Ingredients

Batter Ingredients

  • 1/2 cup Granulated Sugar
  • 1/2 cup Milk
  • 1/2 cup Sour Cream
  • 1 large Egg
  • 1 tsp Vanilla Extract
  • 2 cups Flour
  • 1 tsp Cinnamon
  • 1 tsp Baking Powder
  • 1/2 tsp Baking Soda
  • 1/4 tsp Salt
  • 2 cups Chopped Strawberries (fresh and in season)
  • 2 tbsp Flour (for coating strawberries)

Glaze Ingredients

  • 2 cups Powdered Sugar
  • 1/2 cup Diced Strawberries (fresh and in season)
  • 1/2 tsp Vanilla Extract
  • 1 tbsp Heavy Cream or Milk (optional, for consistency)

Instructions

  1. Preheat the Oven: Begin by preheating your oven to 350 degrees Fahrenheit to ensure it reaches the perfect temperature for baking your bread.
  2. Mix Wet Ingredients: In a medium-sized bowl, combine the granulated sugar, milk, sour cream, egg, and vanilla extract. Whisk these ingredients together until they are well blended.
  3. Combine Dry Ingredients: In a separate bowl, whisk together the flour, cinnamon, baking powder, baking soda, and salt. Gradually add this dry mixture to the wet ingredients, stirring gently until just combined to avoid overmixing, which can toughen the bread.
  4. Prepare the Strawberries: Toss the chopped strawberries with 2 tablespoons of flour in a small bowl. This coating helps prevent the berries from sinking to the bottom during baking. Gently fold the floured strawberries into the batter until evenly distributed.
  5. Bake the Bread: Grease a 9″ x 5″ bread pan thoroughly. Pour the batter into the pan and bake at 350 degrees Fahrenheit for 50-55 minutes. Check doneness by inserting a toothpick into the center—if it comes out clean, the bread is ready.
  6. Cool the Bread: Allow the bread to cool in the pan for 10 minutes, then carefully remove it and transfer to a wire rack to cool completely. Fully cooling is essential before glazing.
  7. Prepare the Glaze: In a small bowl, mix the powdered sugar, diced strawberries, and vanilla extract until smooth. If the glaze is too thick, add heavy cream or milk one tablespoon at a time until you achieve a thick but spreadable consistency.
  8. Glaze the Bread: Once the bread has completely cooled, spread the strawberry glaze evenly over the top. Avoid glazing while the bread is warm to prevent the glaze from melting off.
  9. Serve: Slice the bread and serve immediately to enjoy a delicious treat.

Notes

  • Use fresh, in-season strawberries for best flavor and texture. Frozen berries are not recommended as they may release too much moisture.
  • Coating the strawberries in flour is key to keeping them suspended in the batter, preventing them from sinking to the bottom.
  • Cool the bread completely before applying the glaze to ensure it adheres properly.
  • The glaze consistency can be adjusted by adding more liquid or powdered sugar depending on your preference.
  • This bread makes a great breakfast or snack and pairs wonderfully with a cup of tea or coffee.
