Instructions

Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C) and line a loaf pan.
Toss chopped strawberries with 2 tablespoons flour and set aside.
Cream butter and sugar until light and fluffy.
Add eggs one at a time, then mix in vanilla and yogurt.
In a bowl, whisk flour, baking powder, and salt.
Gently mix dry ingredients into wet ingredients.
Fold in strawberries carefully.
Pour batter into loaf pan and smooth the top.
Bake for 50–60 minutes until a toothpick comes out clean.

Notes

Use ripe, fragrant strawberries for best flavor. Tossing strawberries in flour prevents sinking. Store wrapped at room temperature for 2 days or refrigerate up to 5 days. Freeze slices individually for later.
