Instructions

Preheat the oven to 350F (180C). Grease and line with parchment paper a 9x5in (23x13cm) loaf pan.

In a large bowl whisk flour with salt and baking powder. Set aside.

In a large bowl, add the sugar, butter and vegetable oil and mix until creamy. Incorporate eggs one at a time. Add vanilla extract and mix to combine.

With the mixer on low, gradually incorporate the flour mixture alternating with buttermilk until all is well incorporated.

In a medium bowl add the strawberry pieces and a tablespoon of flour and toss to coat evenly.

Add the strawberries to the cake batter and gently fold them in.

Pour the batter into the prepared pan and smooth the top.

Bake for 50-55 minutes or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.

Let the bread cool slightly.
