Strawberry Bread
This Strawberry Bread is a perfect blend of rich, buttery sweetness and fresh strawberry flavor. The cream cheese gives it a moist, tender crumb, while the buttermilk adds a hint of tanginess that beautifully complements the sweetness of the berries. A delicious, comforting treat ideal for any occasion!
Ingredients
- ½ cup butter softened
- 1 cup sugar
- 4 ounces cream cheese softened
- 2 eggs
- 2 cups flour
- 1 Tsp pure vanilla extract
- 2 Tsp baking powder
- ½ Tsp baking soda
- ½ Tsp Kosher salt
- ½ cup buttermilk
- 1 ½ cups strawberries rinsed dried and chopped
Instructions
- Start by greasing and flouring a 9x5 inch loaf pan, then preheat your oven to 350°F.
- In a bowl, use an electric mixer to beat together butter, sugar, and cream cheese until light and fluffy. Add the eggs, one at a time, mixing well after each addition. Stir in the vanilla extract.
- In another bowl, whisk together the flour, baking powder, baking soda, and salt. Gently mix the dry ingredients into the butter mixture until just combined.
- Add the buttermilk, stirring carefully until incorporated—don’t overmix!
- Finally, fold in the strawberries, being mindful that the batter will be thick.
- Pour the batter into the prepared pan and bake for 50 to 60 minutes, or until golden and a toothpick comes out clean. Enjoy!
