Ingredients:
β’ 1 1/2 cups all-purpose flour
β’ 1 1/2 teaspoons baking powder
β’ 1/2 teaspoon salt
β’ 1/2 cup unsalted butter, softened
β’ 1/2 cup granulated sugar
β’ 2 large eggs
β’ 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
β’ 1/2 cup milk
β’ 1 1/2 cups fresh strawberries, diced
For the glaze:
β’ 1 cup powdered sugar
β’ 2-3 tablespoons milk
β’ 1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract
Instructions:
β’ Preheat your oven to 350Β°F (175Β°C). Grease and flour a 9x5-inch loaf pan.
β’ In a medium bowl, whisk together the flour, baking powder, and salt. Set aside.
β’ In a large bowl, cream together the softened butter and granulated sugar until light and fluffy. You can use an electric mixer or beat by hand with a wooden spoon.
β’ Beat in the eggs, one at a time, until well incorporated. Stir in the vanilla extract.
β’ Gradually add the dry ingredients to the butter mixture, alternating with the milk. Begin and end with the dry ingredients, mixing just until combined after each addition.
β’ Gently fold in the diced strawberries until they are evenly distributed throughout the batter.
β’ Pour the batter into the prepared loaf pan and smooth the top with a spatula.
β’ Bake for 50-60 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.
β’ Remove the cake from the oven and let it cool in the pan for about 10 minutes. Then transfer the cake to a wire rack to cool completely.
β’ While the cake is cooling, prepare the glaze. In a small bowl, whisk together the powdered sugar, milk, and vanilla extract until smooth. Adjust the consistency by adding more milk or powdered sugar if needed.
β’ Once the cake has cooled, drizzle the glaze over the top. Allow the glaze to set before slicing and serving. Munati Food
