  • 1 cup sugar
  • 1 cup buttermilk
  • 1/3 cup vegetable oil
  • 1 tsp vanilla extract
  • 1 tsp strawberry extract
  • 1 1/2 cup fresh strawberries diced
  • 2 tbsp flour

Strawberry lemonade cream cheese frosting

  • 8 oz cream cheese room temperature
  • 1/3 cup butter room temperature
  • 1 cup confectioner's sugar
  • 1/2 tsp strawberry wxtract
  • 3 tbsp lemon juice
  • 1 tsp lemon zest
  • 3 drops yellow food coloring optional

Instructions
 

  • Mix the bread ingredients. Preheat the oven to 350 degrees. Grease a bread pan with butter, then toss in a little flour to cover all the sides of the pan. Knock on the pan to shake off the excess flour. In a medim sized bowl, mix together the flour, salt, and baking soda. In a separate bowl, whisk together the sugar, egg, buttermilk, vanilla extract, strawberry extract, food coloring (optonal), and bveegtable oil. Dice the strawberries and toss them in a bowl with the flour. Add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients and mix to just encorporate. Do not overmix. Gently stir in the flour covered strawberries.
  • Bake the bread. Place the bread on the middle oven rack and bake for 50-70 minutes. Use a toothpick to check to see if the bread is done. Stick the toothpick in the center of the bread. If the toothpick comes out clean, the bread is ready. If the toothpick has batter on it, continue cooking and check every 5 minutes.
  • Make the frosting. Allow the cream cheese and butter to come to room tempurature. Use an electric hand mixer to combine the butter and cream cheese. Mix until it is light and fluffy. Add the strawberry extract, lemon juice, food coloring (optional), and lemon zest. Mix in the confectioner's sugar 1/2 cup at a time. Set the frosting to the side.
  • Frost the strawberry bread. Once the strawberry bread is done cooking, allow it to cool on a cooling rack. Use a spoon so spread the cream cheese frosting on the top of the strawberry bread. Top with your favorite sprinkles, more confectioner's sugar, or eat it as is! Mangia!
