V-Day Inspired: Strawberry Glaze Cake 🍰🍓 this recipe came from @nurturednutrition_ Her full recipe is below, followed by a few things I would have done slightly different the next time I make this 😍 For the Bread • ¾ cup granulated sugar • ½ cup milk • ½ cup olive oil • 1 large egg • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract • 2 cups all-purpose flour • 2 teaspoons baking powder • ½ teaspoon salt • 2 cups diced strawberries, tossed with 2 tablespoons all-purpose flour For the Glaze • 2 cups powdered sugar • 2 tablespoons melted butter • ⅓ cup finely diced strawberries • ½ teaspoon vanilla extract • 1–2 tablespoons heavy cream or milk, as needed to thin Instructions 1. Preheat the oven to 350°F. Grease a 9×5-inch loaf pan and set aside. 2. In a medium bowl, whisk together the sugar, milk, olive oil, egg, and vanilla until smooth. 3. In a separate bowl, mix together the flour, baking powder, and salt. Add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients and stir just until combined. 4. In a small bowl, toss the diced strawberries with the 2 tablespoons of flour. Gently fold the strawberries into the batter. 5. Pour the batter into the prepared loaf pan and bake for 50–55 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean. 6. Let the bread cool in the pan for 10 minutes, then transfer to a wire rack to cool completely. 7. To make the glaze, stir together the powdered sugar, melted butter, diced strawberries, and vanilla. Add cream or milk a tablespoon at a time until the glaze reaches your desired consistency. 8. Once the loaf has fully cooled, spoon the glaze over the top. Slice, serve, and enjoy. *if I were to make this again, I’d probably substitute butter for olive oil. I love the way real butter tastes vs oil in cakes. ** I’d add one more tablespoon of milk (I did 2) to thin the glaze slightly more (mine was much thicker than hers). *** wait a little longer to serve as it was a bit crumbly when cutting (but still just as delicious)! All in all, this was such a refreshing treat, perfect to celebrate with all the people you ❤️ - homebaked cozykitchen bakingfromscratch seasonalbaking homemadegoodness
