How to make Fresh Strawberry Bread?

First, sift the flour, then add baking powder and salt and whisk to combine. Second, in a separate bowl beat an egg and granulated sugar until light and fluffy, then add oil, milk, lemon zest and rum and beat some more until it’s combined. Finally, add flour mixture and mix only until combined. Do not overmix! In a smaller bowl, toss together strawberries with a spoonful of flour, to coat the strawberries. Gently fold strawberries into the batter and pour it into a 9×5 loaf pan that has been lined with parchment paper or sprayed with non-stick spray. Bake the bread at 350 F for about an hour, or until a toothpick stuck in the center comes out clean.

When it’s baked, take the bread out of the oven and leave it for 10-15 min in the loaf pan, then transfer to a wire rack to cool completely.

To make the frosting – Whisk together powdered sugar, milk, melted butter and rum until it’s smooth, then add strawberries and stir to combine. Spread the frosting over the cooled bread, slice it and serve.

How to store the leftovers?

Keep them in the fridge wrapped or in an airtight container for 3-4 days or refrigerated in a zip lock bag for up to 3 months.

Tips and tricks:

All ingredients should be room temperature.

Do not overbeat the batter!

Slowly add milk into the frosting, so that it doesn’t get too runny! Keep in mind that when you mix in the strawberries, they will release some water and the glaze will be more runny. If it is too hard, add 1 teaspoon of milk until you get the desired consistency.

Do not put the frosting over the hot bread, but over the completely cooled one!
