Step 1

Preheat oven to 375 and grease two 8.5x4.5-inch bread loaf pans.

Step 2

Slice strawberries into thin, bite-sized pieces and dab off any excess moisture with a paper towel. Set aside.

Step 3

In a large bowl, cream together the cream cheese and butter. Add sugar, eggs and vanilla, then beat until light and airy.

Step 4

In a small bowl, combine flour, baking powder, and salt. Once thoroughly combined, slowly add the dry ingredients and milk to the wet ingredients.

Step 5

Gently fold strawberry pieces into the batter.

Step 6

Transfer batter to the prepared loaf pans and bake for 50-60 minutes or until an inserted toothpick comes out clean. I recommend covering the loaves with foil after 35-40 minutes to prevent the tops from over browning.

Step 7

Allow loaves to fully cool before slicing.
