Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 2 cups all-purpose flour
- 1 cup granulated sugar
- 2 teaspoons baking powder
- 0.5 teaspoon baking soda
- 0.5 teaspoon salt
- 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
- 2 large eggs
- 0.5 cup vegetable oil
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1.5 cups fresh strawberries, hulled and chopped
- 0.25 cup milk
- 2 tablespoons powdered sugar (optional, for garnish)
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease a 9x5-inch loaf pan and set aside.
In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the all-purpose flour, granulated sugar, baking powder, baking soda, salt, and ground cinnamon until well combined.
In a separate bowl, beat the eggs lightly. Add the vegetable oil, milk, and vanilla extract, and whisk until smooth.
Gradually pour the wet ingredients into the bowl with the dry ingredients. Stir gently with a spatula or wooden spoon until just combined (do not overmix).
Fold in the chopped fresh strawberries, ensuring they are evenly distributed throughout the batter.
Pour the batter into the prepared loaf pan and spread it out evenly.
Bake in the preheated oven for 55-60 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center of the bread comes out clean.
Remove the bread from the oven and allow it to cool in the pan for about 10 minutes, then transfer it to a wire rack to cool completely.
Optionally, dust the top of the bread with powdered sugar before serving for an extra touch of sweetness.
Slice and enjoy your delicious strawberry bread as a snack, dessert, or breakfast treat!
