  4. Pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients and stir until just combined.
  5. Pour the batter into the prepared loaf pan.
Baking
  1. Bake for 45-55 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.
  2. Let it cool for a few minutes before removing from the pan.
Glazing
  1. For the glaze, mix the powdered sugar with enough milk to achieve a drizzling consistency.

Notes

If you’re in a hurry, you can make muffins or a smaller loaf. Fresh strawberries are a must for best flavor, but frozen can be used if prepared properly.
