Ingredients

1 ½ cups all purpose flour
1 ½ teaspoons baking powder
¼ teaspoon salt
½ cup oil*
1 cup granulated sugar
2 large eggs
1 teaspoon pure vanilla extract
½ teaspoon almond extract
¾ cup buttermilk
1 ½ cups diced fresh strawberries
1 tablespoon all purpose flour for the strawberries
1 tablespoon granulated sugar for topping

Instructions

Preheat oven to 350°F with a rack in the middle of the oven. Grease a 9x5 loaf pan and set aside.
In a medium bowl, combine flour, baking powder, and salt.
In a separate bowl, whisk oil, sugar, eggs, vanilla, almond extract, and buttermilk. Add the dry ingredients and whisk until combined.
In another bowl combine the strawberries and 1 tablespoon flour. Add the strawberries to the batter (reserving a few for the top) and stir with a rubber spatula until combined.
Pour batter into prepared loaf pan and smooth the top. Sprinkle the reserved strawberries on top and sprinkle 1 tablespoon of sugar all over the batter. Bake for 45-55 minutes, until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean (be careful not to overbake). Rotate the pan halfway through bake time to ensure even browning. Place the pan on a rack to cool for 15 minutes, then carefully remove from the pan and place directly on the wire rack to cool. Note: I like to run a thin knife between the bread and the pan to help it release from the pan easier.
