Ingredients

  • 1 ¼ cups white sugar

  • ½ cup butter

  • 3 large eggs

  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract

  • 2 ½ cups all-purpose flour

  • 1 teaspoon baking soda

Glaze:

  • ¼ cup buttermilk

  • 1 teaspoon strawberry extract

  • 1 drop red food coloring, or as needed

Directions

  1. Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C). Grease a 9x5-inch loaf pan.

  2. Cream sugar and butter together in a bowl with an electric mixer. Beat in eggs one at a time. Mix in vanilla extract.

  3. Combine flour, baking soda, baking powder, and salt in a separate bowl. Beat into egg mixture slowly until just combined. Fold in strawberries. Pour into the prepared loaf pan.

  4. Bake in the preheated oven until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean, 45 to 50 minutes.

  6. Allow bread to cool slightly, then remove from the pan. Pour glaze over the top. Serve warm.
