Strawberries & Cream Bread






This is one of my favorite breads to make & it's a slice of this makes one perfect, super delicious breakfast. Try it toasted with a smidgen of butter or cream cheese on top if you really want to do it up.

Preheat oven to 350 degrees. Grease & flour a 9x5 inch loaf pan. With an electric mixer, cream together butter, sugar, & cream cheese. Mix the eggs in one at a time, & then stir in vanilla.  

In a separate bowl, mix together the flour, baking powder, baking soda, & salt. Combine the flour mixture with the wet mixture; add buttermilk & stir just until combined.  Do not overmix!  Gently fold in strawberries.  The mixture will be thick.
