Fresh strawberry bread

[Amy]

This was SOOO good! I served it with strawberry butter per another reviewer's suggestion (1/2 c. butter, 1/4 c. strawberry jam/preserves, 1/8 c. fresh cut strawberries). I also made 12 muffins, rather than cooking it in a loaf pan.

SERVES 10 , 1 slice

* 1 3/4 cups flour
* 1/2 teaspoon baking powder
* 1/4 teaspoon baking soda
* 1/2 teaspoon salt
* 1/4 teaspoon cinnamon
* 1/2 cup butter, softened
* 3/4 cup sugar
* 1/4 cup light brown sugar (use if you want a sweeter bread)
* 2 eggs, room temperature
* 1/2 cup sour cream, room temperature
* 1 teaspoon vanilla
* 1 1/4 cups strawberries, fresh & coarsely chopped (do NOT use frozen) or fresh blueberries
* 3/4 cup walnuts (optional)

1. Combine flour, baking powder, baking soda, salt and cinnamon; set aside.
2. In small bowl, beat butter until creamy. Gradually add sugar, beat 1 minute or until light and airy. Add brown sugar. Beat in eggs, one at a time. Beat in sour cream and vanilla.
3. Stir into flour mixture only until dry ingredients are moistened.
4. Fold in strawberries and nuts.
5. Pour into a greased 8 x 4 inch loaf pan.
6. Bake at 350°F for 60 to 65 minutes or until toothpick comes out clean.
7. Let stand 10 minutes in pan.
8. Turn out on rack to cool.
