Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 2 cups All-purpose flour
- 2 teaspoons Baking powder
- 0.5 teaspoons Baking soda
- 0.25 teaspoons Salt
- 0.5 cups Unsalted butter, softened
- 0.75 cups Granulated sugar
- 2 whole Large eggs
- 1.5 teaspoons Vanilla extract
- 0.5 cups Whole milk
- 0.75 cups Strawberry preserves
- 0.25 cups Fresh strawberries, diced (optional for garnish)
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and grease a 9x5-inch loaf pan or line it with parchment paper.
In a medium mixing bowl, whisk together the all-purpose flour, baking powder, baking soda, and salt. Set aside.
In a large mixing bowl, use an electric mixer to cream together the softened butter and granulated sugar until light and fluffy, about 2-3 minutes.
Add the eggs one at a time, beating well after each addition. Mix in the vanilla extract.
With the mixer on low speed, alternate adding the flour mixture and milk to the wet ingredients, starting and ending with the flour mixture. Mix until just combined. Do not overmix.
Gently fold in the strawberry preserves until evenly distributed, creating swirls of color and flavor.
Pour the batter into the prepared loaf pan, smoothing the top with a spatula.
Place the loaf pan in the preheated oven and bake for 45-50 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.
Remove the bread from the oven and allow it to cool in the pan for 10 minutes. Then, transfer it to a wire rack to cool completely.
If desired, top the cooled loaf with a few diced fresh strawberries for garnish before serving.
