Ingredients

  • 1 cup butter softened -unsalted
  • 2 cups granulated sugar
  • 4 large eggs
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 3 cups all-purpose flour
  • 1 teaspoon baking powder
  • ½ teaspoon salt
  • ½ cup milk
  • cups strawberries fresh - diced

Glaze

  • 1 cup confectioner’s sugar
  • 2 tablespoons milk 2-3 tbsp
  • ½ teaspoon vanilla extract or swap with strawberry extract/flavoring

Instructions

  • Preheat the oven to 325°F (160°C). Grease and flour a 9x5 inch loaf pan.
  • Cream the butter and sugar together in a large mixing bowl, until light and fluffy.
  • Add the eggs one at a time, beating well after each addition. Stir in the vanilla extract.
  • Whisk together the flour, baking powder, and salt in a separate bowl.
  • Gradually add the dry ingredients to the creamed mixture, alternating with milk. Mix until just combined.
  • Gently fold in the diced strawberries until evenly distributed throughout the batter.
  • Transfer the batter to the prepared loaf pan.
  • Bake for 60-70 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.
  • Allow the cake to cool in the pan for at least 10 minutes before transferring it to a wire rack to cool completely.

Glaze

  • Sift the confectioner’s sugar in a small bowl, to ensure it is lump-free.
  • Gradually add the milk, starting with 2 tablespoons, and the vanilla extract.
  • Whisk the mixture together until smooth.
  • If the glaze is too thick, add more milk, one teaspoon at a time, until you reach your desired consistency. If it's too thin, add more sugar, a tablespoon at a time.
  • Once the glaze reaches the desired consistency, immediately pour it over the cooled cake.
  • Use a spatula or the back of a spoon to spread the glaze evenly over the cake, allowing it to drip down the sides.
  • Let the glaze set for a few minutes before slicing and serving the cake.
  • Once cooled, slice and serve.
