Step 1: Preheat & Prepare

• Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C).
• Grease and flour a 9×5-inch loaf pan or line it with parchment paper.

Step 2: Mix the Dry Ingredients

• In a medium bowl, whisk together flour, baking powder, baking soda, salt, and optional cinnamon.
• Toss the chopped strawberries with 1 tablespoon of this flour mixture to prevent sinking in the batter.

Step 3: Combine the Wet Ingredients

• In a large mixing bowl, whisk the melted butter and sugar until smooth.
• Add eggs one at a time, whisking after each. Stir in sour cream and vanilla.

Step 4: Bring It All Together

• Add dry ingredients to wet ingredients. Gently fold until just combined—do not overmix.
• Fold in strawberries and optional add-ins like nuts or chips.

Step 5: Bake

• Pour the batter into your prepared loaf pan.
• Bake for 50–60 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean.
• Cool in the pan for 10 minutes, then transfer to a wire rack to cool completely.

Step 6: Glaze (Optional but Divine)

Whisk together:

• ½ cup powdered sugar
• 1–2 tbsp milk or lemon juice
• Drizzle over the cooled loaf for an elegant finish.

Formation Tips

• Use ripe strawberries for maximum flavor, but not overly mushy ones.
• Don’t skip the sour cream or yogurt—it ensures the moist texture that sets this bread apart.
• For muffins instead of a loaf, bake at 350°F for 18–22 minutes.
