Ingredients
1/2 cup butter, softened
1 cup granulated sugar
4 ounces cream cheese, softened
2 eggs
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
2 cups all-purpose flour
2 teaspoons baking powder
1/2 teaspoon baking soda
1/2 teaspoon salt
1/2 cup buttermilk
1 1/2 cups strawberries, rinsed, dried and chopped
Directions
1. Preheat oven to 350 degrees F. Grease and flour a 9x5 inch loaf pan.
2. Cream butter, sugar and cream cheese together until fluffy. Add eggs one at a time. Mix in vanilla.
3. In a separate bowl, mix flour, baking powder, baking soda and salt. Blend flour mixture with butter mixture just until blended. Add buttermilk and only stir until combined; do not over mix!
4. Carefully fold in strawberries. Dough mixture will be thick. Pour into prepared pan.
5. Bake in oven for 50-60 minutes (until toothpick inserted in center comes out clean.) Remove from oven and let rest in pan for 5 minutes. Then, remove bread from pan and let cool completely on cooling rack.
