Preheat your oven to 350Β°F (175Β°C). Grease and flour a 9x5-inch loaf pan, or line it with parchment paper.
Hull and finely chop the fresh strawberries (200 grams). Set aside.
In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the granulated sugar (150 grams) and melted butter (85 grams) until smooth.
Add the eggs (2 large) and vanilla extract (1 teaspoon) to the bowl. Mix until thoroughly combined.
In a separate bowl, whisk together the all-purpose flour (250 grams), baking powder (2 teaspoons), and salt (0.5 teaspoons).
Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet mixture, alternating with the milk (120 milliliters). Begin and end with the dry ingredients.
Gently fold the chopped strawberries into the batter using a spatula, ensuring they are evenly distributed.
Pour the batter into the prepared loaf pan and smooth the top with a spatula.
Bake in the preheated oven for 55β60 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.
Allow the strawberry bread to cool in the pan for 10 minutes, then transfer to a wire rack to cool completely.
While the bread cools, prepare the strawberry butter. Combine softened butter (115 grams), powdered sugar (60 grams), and fresh strawberries (50 grams) in a food processor or blender.
Pulse the mixture until smooth and creamy. Transfer to a serving dish and refrigerate until ready to serve.
Slice the strawberry bread and serve with a generous spread of strawberry butter. Enjoy!
