Tips for the Best Strawberry Loaf Cake

Use fresh, ripe strawberries for the best flavor. If using frozen, thaw and drain them well.

Do not overmix the batter, or your cake may turn out dense.

Dust strawberries with a little flour before folding them into the batter to prevent them from sinking.

Let the loaf cool completely before slicing to keep it from falling apart.
