How to Make Strawberry Bread Strawberry Butter

  1. Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease and flour a 9x5 inch loaf pan.
  2. **Make the Bread:** In a large bowl, whisk together 2 ½ cups all-purpose flour, 1 ½ cups granulated sugar, 2 teaspoons baking powder, 1 teaspoon baking soda, ½ teaspoon salt, and 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon.
  3. In a separate bowl, whisk together 2 large eggs, ½ cup vegetable oil, and 2 cups fresh strawberries, hulled and roughly chopped.
  4. Pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients and gently mix until just combined. Do not overmix.
  5. Pour batter into the prepared loaf pan and bake for 50-60 minutes, or until a wooden skewer inserted into the center comes out clean.
  6. Let the bread cool in the pan for 10 minutes before transferring it to a wire rack to cool completely.
  7. **Make the Strawberry Butter:** While the bread is baking, combine 1 cup (2 sticks) unsalted butter, softened, 1 cup powdered sugar, ½ cup fresh strawberries, pureed, and 1 teaspoon vanilla extract in a medium bowl.
  8. Beat with an electric mixer until light and fluffy.
  9. Transfer the strawberry butter to a small, airtight container. For best results, freeze the butter until ready to use. It will keep for several weeks in the freezer.
  10. Serve warm strawberry bread with a generous dollop of cold or frozen strawberry butter. Enjoy!
