How to Make Strawberry Bread with Whipped Strawberry Butter

Step 1: Preheat and Prepare

1. Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease a loaf pan and line it with parchment paper for easy removal.

Step 2: Mix the Dry Ingredients

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

Step 3: Cream the Wet Ingredients

3. In a large bowl, use an electric mixer to cream the softened butter and sugar until light and fluffy, about 2-3 minutes.
4. Beat in the eggs, one at a time, then add the vanilla extract.

Step 4: Combine Wet and Dry Ingredients

5. Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet mixture, alternating with the sour cream, beginning and ending with the dry ingredients. Mix just until combined.
6. Gently fold in the chopped strawberries, being careful not to overmix.

Step 5: Bake the Bread

7. Pour the batter into the prepared loaf pan and smooth the top with a spatula.
8. Bake for 50-60 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.
9. Let the bread cool in the pan for 10 minutes, then transfer it to a wire rack to cool completely.

Step 6: Make the Whipped Strawberry Butter

10. In a small bowl, beat the softened butter, finely chopped strawberries, powdered sugar, and vanilla extract until light and fluffy.

Step 7: Serve

11. Slice the cooled strawberry bread and serve with a generous spread of whipped strawberry butter. Enjoy!

Tips for Perfect Strawberry Bread

• Use Fresh Strawberries: They give the bread a natural sweetness and juicy texture.

• Room Temperature Ingredients: Make sure the butter, eggs, and sour cream are at room temperature for smooth mixing.

Storage Instructions

• Room Temperature: Store the bread in an airtight container for up to 2 days.
• Refrigerate: Extend freshness by refrigerating for up to 5 days. Bring to room temperature before serving.
• Freeze: Wrap the bread tightly in plastic wrap and foil. Freeze for up to 2 months. Thaw at room temperature before enjoying.
