Ingredients

Scale
  1. For the Loaf:
    • 1 1/2 cups all-purpose flour
    • 1 tsp baking powder
    • 1/2 tsp baking soda
    • 1/4 tsp salt
    • 1/2 cup unsalted butter, softened
    • 8 oz cream cheese, softened
    • 1 cup sugar
    • 2 large eggs
    • 1 tsp vanilla extract
    • 1/2 cup sour cream or yogurt
    • 1/2 cup fresh strawberries, chopped (or frozen strawberries)
    • 1/4 cup strawberry jam or preserves
  2. For the Topping (Optional):
    • 2 tbsp powdered sugar
    • 1 tbsp fresh strawberries, finely chopped

Instructions

  • Preheat the Oven: Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease and flour a loaf pan or line it with parchment paper.

  • Prepare Dry Ingredients: In a medium bowl, whisk together the flour, baking powder, baking soda, and salt. Set aside.

  • Cream Butter and Cream Cheese: In a large mixing bowl, beat the softened butter and cream cheese until light and fluffy, about 2-3 minutes.

  • Add Sugar and Eggs: Add the sugar to the butter and cream cheese mixture, and beat until combined. Add the eggs one at a time, beating well after each addition. Stir in the vanilla extract.

  • Incorporate Wet Ingredients: Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients, alternating with the sour cream (or yogurt), starting and ending with the dry ingredients. Mix until just combined.

  • Add Strawberries: Gently fold in the chopped fresh strawberries and strawberry jam or preserves. Be careful not to overmix, as this could make the loaf dense.

  • Bake the Loaf: Pour the batter into the prepared loaf pan, smoothing the top. Bake for 55-65 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center of the loaf comes out clean.

  • Cool: Allow the loaf to cool in the pan for 10 minutes before transferring it to a wire rack to cool completely.

Notes

  • You can use frozen strawberries, but fresh strawberries yield the best flavor and texture.
  • If you like, you can drizzle the loaf with a glaze made from powdered sugar and milk instead of the optional topping.
  • Ensure you don’t overmix the batter to keep the loaf light and fluffy.
