Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 ½ cups fresh strawberries, hulled and diced
  • 1 tablespoon granulated sugar (for macerating berries)
  • 1 ¾ cups all-purpose flour, plus 2 tablespoons for coating berries
  • 1 teaspoon baking powder
  • ½ teaspoon baking soda
  • ½ teaspoon salt
  • ¾ cup granulated sugar
  • 2 tablespoons light brown sugar, packed (optional, for extra moisture)
  • ¼ cup unsalted butter, melted
  • ¼ cup vegetable or canola oil
  • 2 large eggs, at room temperature
  • ¾ cup buttermilk, at room temperature
  • 1 ½ teaspoons vanilla extract
  • 1 cup powdered sugar for glaze
  • 1 tablespoon milk or heavy cream for glaze
  • ½ teaspoon vanilla extract for glaze

Instructions

  1. Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease a loaf pan and line with parchment paper.
  2. In a small bowl, toss the diced strawberries with 1 tablespoon of granulated sugar. Let sit for 10-15 minutes to release their juices. Drain the berries well and sprinkle with 2 tablespoons of flour, tossing gently to coat.
  3. In a large bowl, whisk together the remaining 1 ¾ cups flour, baking powder, baking soda, and salt.
  4. In a separate medium bowl, whisk together the remaining ¾ cup granulated sugar, brown sugar (if using), melted butter, oil, eggs, buttermilk, and 1 ½ teaspoons vanilla until smooth.
  5. Pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients. Fold gently with a rubber spatula until just combined. Do not overmix.
  6. Gently fold the floured strawberries into the batter with just a few strokes.
  7. Pour batter into prepared pan and spread evenly. Bake for 55-65 minutes until a skewer inserted in the center comes out with moist crumbs.
  8. Cool in pan on a wire rack for 15 minutes; then use parchment to lift bread onto rack to cool completely.
  9. Once bread is cool, whisk together powdered sugar, remaining ½ teaspoon vanilla, and milk until smooth. Drizzle over the loaf. Let set for 15 minutes before slicing.
