Instructions

  5. Combine and Fold: Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet mixture, then gently fold in the floured strawberries.
  6. Bake: Pour the batter into the loaf pan, sprinkle with turbinado sugar if desired, and bake for 55–65 minutes until a toothpick inserted comes out clean.
  7. Cool and Serve: Let the loaf cool in the pan for 10 minutes, then transfer to a wire rack to cool completely before slicing.
