However, it makes for a beautiful pleasurable treat for your friends and family during the holidays.
How do you make Strawberry Bread with Whipped Strawberry Butter?
Start by chopping your strawberries and sprinkling them with a little bit of the measured sugar to draw out the juice and sweeten them up. Then in a medium bowl whisk together the flour, sugar, brown sugar, cinnamon, salt and baking soda.
In a large bowl beat the eggs, then add the oil and vanilla. Stir in the strawberries and add the flour mixture to the strawberry mixture in three parts. Stir just until combined after each part as quick sweet breads can become tough if over mixed. Pour the batter into a well-greased and floured 9×5 inch loaf pan. Bake for about one hour or until a toothpick inserted in the top comes out clean.
To prepare the strawberry butter simply whip the butter until creamy and light using a handheld mixer. Then beat in the powdered sugar until light and fluffy. Finally, fold in the chopped strawberries.
Recipe notes and helpful tips
- Grease and flour your loaf pan well or spray with Bakers Joy (which I love).
- Use fresh ripe, fragrant sweet strawberries.
- Sprinkle the strawberries with a little bit of the measured sugar so that it draws out a little bit of the juice and sweetens those strawberries just right.
- Soften the butter for the Whipped Strawberry Butter for about an hour or so. It should be fairly soft before preparing it so it whips up and gets airy.
- Bake the loaf just until a toothpick inserted in the center of the top comes out clean.
- Do not over-mix the batter as it will get tough. Mix the batter just until incorporated.
