Strawberry Bread will be your new favorite, easy sweet bread! Made with fresh strawberries. Serve it sliced with sweetened strawberries and whipped cream!
Preheat oven to 350F degrees and place the oven rack in the middle position.
Spray the bottom and sides of an 8-cup loaf pan (9x5x3-inch) with nonstick cooking spray.
In the bowl of your electric mixer, or with a hand mixer, beat the butter until softened.
Add the sugar and continue to beat until light and fluffy.
Add the eggs, one at a time, beating well after each addition.
Stir in the vanilla extract. Scrape down the sides of the bowl as needed.
In a separate bowl, whisk together the flour, baking powder, baking soda, salt, and ground cinnamon.
With the mixer on low, add the flour mixture (in three additions) and sour cream (in two additions) alternately, starting and ending with the flour.
Mix only until combined (don't overmix).
Gently stir in the chopped strawberries and walnuts.
Scoop the batter into the prepared pan and bake about 1 hour, or until the bread is golden brown and a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean.
Place on a wire rack to cool and then remove the bread from the pan.
