Ingredients
- 2 pc eggs
- 150 g granulated sugar ¾ cup
- 50 g brown sugar ¼ cup
- 60 g melted butter ¼ cup
- 60 g oil ¼ cup
- 1 tsp vanilla extract
- 120 g buttermilk ½ cup
- 180 g all-purpose flour 1½ cups
- 2 tsp baking powder
- ⅛ tsp baking soda
- ¼ tsp salt
- 150 g sliced strawberries about 1½ cups
- 90 g white chocolate chips or chunks optional, about ½ cup
Strawberry Glaze
- 2-3 fresh strawberries
- 1 tbsp milk
- 60 g icing sugar ½ cup
Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 350°F (180°C). Line a 9x5-inch (or 8x4-inch) loaf pan with parchment paper and lightly grease the sides.
- Mix the wet ingredients: In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the eggs, granulated sugar, and brown sugar until well combined. Add in the melted butter, oil, vanilla extract, and the prepared buttermilk. Whisk until smooth.
- Prepare the dry ingredients: In a separate bowl, whisk together the flour, baking powder, baking soda, and salt.
- Combine wet and dry: Add the dry ingredients to the wet mixture. Stir gently until just combined—avoid overmixing to keep the loaf soft and tender.
- Fold in strawberries and chocolate: Lightly toss the sliced strawberries and white chocolate (if using) with a bit of flour. Fold them into the batter to evenly distribute.
- Bake the loaf: Pour the batter into your prepared loaf pan. Bake for 45–60 minutes (for 9x5-inch pan) or 65–75 minutes (for 8x4-inch pan), or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.
- Cool the loaf: Once baked, let the loaf cool in the pan for 10–15 minutes. Then transfer it to a wire rack to cool completely before glazing.
- Make the glaze: Mash the strawberries and strain them through a fine sieve to extract the juice. In a small bowl, mix the strawberry juice with icing sugar and milk until smooth. Adjust the consistency—add more milk if too thick, or more sugar if too runny.
- Glaze and decorate: Once the loaf is fully cooled, pour the strawberry glaze over the top. Add extra fresh strawberries for decoration if you’d like.
