I think I got this recipe from Facebook? Someone shared it and I took a screen shot. Two days later I got a bag of the juiciest, ripest strawberries from cousin Hollis (Thank you, Hollis!). It was fate.

Look at that!

It isn’t a super sweet bread. It is big on the strawberry flavor.

And, the glaze is amazing. I think you could double the glaze.

Alright…here we go!

For the Bread:

MIx:

3/4 cup sugar

1/2 cup milk

1/2 cup vegetable oil

1 large egg

1 tsp. vanilla

In another bowl mix:

2 cups flour

2 tsp. baking powder

1/4 tsp. salt

Now add those two bowls together and mix, but don’t over mix.

Cut up 2 cups of strawberries and coat in 2 T. of flour and add that to the batter.

Pour the batter into a greased 9 x 5 bread loaf pan.

Bake at 350 for 50-55 minutes until a toothpick comes out clean. Let bread cool for 10 minutes, then remove from pan and let cool completely.

Glaze:

2 cups powdered sugar

2 T. butter

1/3 cup finely diced strawberries

1/2 tsp. vanilla

1-2 T. heavy cream or milk (depends on the consistency you prefer)

Spread the glaze on top of the loaf and slice.

Let me know if you try it!
