Ingredients
Scale
- 1 cup unsalted butter, softened
- 1 cup granulated sugar
- 4 large eggs
- 2 teaspoons vanilla extract
- 2 cups all-purpose flour
- 1 teaspoon baking powder
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
- 1 cup fresh strawberries, chopped
- 1/2 cup powdered sugar
- 2 tablespoons milk
Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and grease a loaf pan.
- Cream together the softened butter and granulated sugar until light and fluffy—about 3-5 minutes.
- Add the eggs one at a time, mixing well after each addition. Stir in the vanilla extract.
- Whisk together the all-purpose flour, baking powder, and salt in another bowl. Gradually add this dry mixture to the butter mixture, mixing until just combined.
- Fold in the chopped strawberries until evenly distributed throughout the batter.
- Pour the batter into the prepared loaf pan and smooth the top.
- Bake for 50-60 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.
- Allow the cake to cool in the pan for 10 minutes before transferring it to a wire rack to cool completely.
- Whisk together the powdered sugar and milk until smooth. Drizzle it over the cooled cake.
Notes
For added flavor, consider variations like lemon zest or a cream cheese swirl. Store the cake in an airtight container for freshness.
