Info and tips for dreamy pink strawberry loaf

When making the strawberry loaf it’s important to cover the strawberries in cornstarch before mixing into the batter. This will help prevent the fruit from sinking to the bottom of your loaf, and also helps the fruit retain its shape and colour. It’s also important not to overmix the batter when adding the dry ingredients to the wet. Mix until just combined to keep the loaf fluffy and tender instead of dense and chewy.

Although it’s tempting, avoid icing the loaf until completely cool. The strawberries also release a lot of moisture into the icing, so if your icing looks a little dry at first, just keep mixing to help release the natural strawberry juices and it’ll thin out.
