Preparation Steps

• Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease and flour a 9x5 inch loaf pan.
• In a large bowl, whisk together flour, sugar, baking powder, baking soda, and salt.
• In a separate bowl, cream together butter and sugar until light and fluffy.
• Beat in the buttermilk and vanilla extract.
• Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients, mixing until just combined.
• Gently fold in the sliced strawberries.
• Pour the batter into the prepared loaf pan.
• Bake for 55-65 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.
• Let the cake cool in the pan for 10 minutes before inverting it onto a wire rack to cool completely.
