Moist and delicious Fresh Strawberry Bread bursting with sweet, juicy berries! Topped with an optional zesty strawberry lemon glaze, it’s perfect for breakfast, brunch, or a delightful snack any time of day! This is a great recipe to use your fresh spring and summer berries!

During the papal visit to the Philippines (January 2015), three working days were declared holidays. Sandwiched in these days is a weekend so there was in-effect a 5-day holiday period.

My siblings and I took advantage of this long weekend and decided to go up north and visit the Banaue, Sagada, and Baguio areas. These three places are some of the top destinations in the Philippines.

Banaue has world-famous rice terraces considered the 8th wonder of the world. Sagada is the place to go if you wish to go hiking, climbing, spelunking, and engaging in other extreme adventures. Of course, Baguio City with its cooler weather is considered the summer capital of the Philippines.

Baguio City and its surrounds are the only place in the Philippines where we actually grow strawberries. I made sure that when we went to the market I would purchase a kilo of strawberries to bring home.

It’s been a while since I had some local strawberries and it’s been over a decade ago since I went to Baguio. Our local strawberries are not as huge as their western counterparts but in terms of taste, they are as flavorful and sweet.

After snacking some strawberries, I reserved a few cups for baking. I really wanted to make something using this delicious local produce.

The first idea that came into my mind was strawberry bread. It was the first time that my family had ever tried bread with fresh strawberries, and I must say that they were totally pleased. I sometimes make this without the glaze as you can see in the older photos. Feel free to do what you like – it’s delicious with or without the glaze.

Hope you will too when you get to try this very simple but truly tasty recipe!

WHAT ARE THE INGREDIENTS FOR YUMMY STRAWBERRY BREAD?

• 2 cups Flour

• 1 teaspoon Baking Powder

• 1 teaspoon Baking Soda

• 1 teaspoon ground Cinnamon

• 1/2 teaspoon Salt

• 2 Eggs, lightly beaten

• 1 cup Sour Cream

• 1 cup Brown Sugar, firmly packed

• 1/4 cup White Sugar

• 3 Tablespoons Oil, use neutral-flavored oil*

• 1 1/2 teaspoons Vanilla extract

• 2 cups fresh Strawberries, rinsed, dried, and coarsely chopped*

NOTES

*Use any neutral-flavoured Oil as an alternative

*Reserve 1/2 a cup. Roll the rest of the strawberries in 1 Tablespoon flour.

HOW DO YOU MAKE YUMMY STRAWBERRY BREAD?

Preheat the oven to 350F.

In a bowl, whisk together the flour, baking soda, baking powder, ground cinnamon, and salt. Set aside.

Lightly beat the eggs in a separate bowl. Add the sour cream and stir. Add the sugars and mix until everything is smooth and nicely blended. Pour in the oil and vanilla extract.

Pour the wet ingredients into the dry mixture. Gently mix just until blended. Fold in 1 1/2 cups of strawberries rolled in flour.

Spoon into the loaf pans (I use 2 8 x 4 loaf pans). Sprinkle the left-over strawberries (1/2 cup remaining) on top. Gently push into the mixture. Bake in the preheated oven for about 35-40 minutes or until a tester comes out clean.

Let cool in the pan for 10 minutes before transferring to a wire rack to cool completely. Let the cake cool completely before you add the glaze.

Optional Strawberry Lemon Glaze

• 2 cups confectioner’s sugar (powdered sugar)
• 1 Tablespoon Lemon juice, or to taste (amount depends on the tartness and thickness of the glaze that you prefer, so feel free to adjust)
• 3 Tablespoons fresh Strawberry puree, or to taste

Place the powdered sugar, lemon juice, and strawberry puree in a mixing bowl. Mix until it reaches a smooth and pourable consistency.  You can adjust the thickness to your liking.

Enjoy!!!

Reserve 1/2 a cup of the berries to use as a topping. Roll the rest of the strawberries in 1 tablespoon flour. This ensures the strawberries don’t sink to the bottom of the loaf.
