Strawberry Cream Cheese Bread. Need to use fresh strawberries from the garden? Make this for the family and let them eat bread.

Strawberry Cream Cheese Bread

I saw this recipe for Strawberry Cream Cheese Bread and I immediately knew I would be making it.

The strawberries in the garden are just starting to get ripe and sweet and I have some cream cheese in the refrigerator that needs to be used up.

I am going my my sister’s home this weekend and I am going to take her a nice warm loaf.

Don’t you just love when someone stops by with a great homemade item still warm from the oven?

It has been a while since I have been able to see her. I look forward to putting the loaf on her porch and calling her from the car.

Her 70th birthday is coming up in a few weeks.

And since we will have to celebvrate in a new way, I thought giving her the bread ahead of the drive by celebration would make her feel a bit more like celebrating.

My sister enjoys my baking and is always lughingly asking if I have made anything new.

These are the INGREDIENTS you will need:

  • 1/2 cup buttermilk
  • 1 1/2 cups fresh strawberries chopped
  • 1/2 cup butter softened
  • 1 cup sugar
  • 4 ounces cream cheese softened
  • 2 eggs
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 2 cups flour
  • 2 teaspoons baking powder
  • 1/2 teaspoon baking soda
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt

These aree the INSTRUCTIONS for preparation:

  • In a medium sized mixing bowl, cream together butter, sugar, and cream cheese.
  • Beat until fluffy.
  • Slowly add in eggs one at a time, beating well.
  • Mix in vanilla.
  • In a separate medium sized mixing bowl, blend together flour, baking soda, salt, and baking powder.
  • Slowly mix together flour mixture and cream cheese mixture, just until combined.
  • Add in buttermilk and stir just until combined.
  • Carefully fold in strawberries.
  • Pour into greased and floured loaf pan.
  • Bake at 350 degrees for 55 minutes, or until toothpick comes out clean.
  • Cool before removing from pan and slicing.

I made this bread for my own family ahead of time and they loved it!

It wasn’t overly sweet and that appealed to my husband.

If the dessert isn’t pie he usually politely refuses and waits for his ice cream.

But I know his shenanigans. I catch him in the kitchen later with a knife. He always says he is “straightening the edge.” Ummm, ok.

my son thought the bread was flavorful and was surprised that there were large pieces of strawberries.

The bread stayed moist and stayed in its form as it was sliced.

My granddaughter added a bit of strawberry jam to her piece. She promptly asked for permission to try another piece with butter.

I think all in all the Strawberry Cream Cheese Bread was a huge hit.

I can’t wait to hear the reviews from my sister and her famliy.

Please let me know if you give this recipe a try. Let me know of any changes you make to the recipe so I can try them too!

    Thanks for sharing your recipe at Sew It Cook It Craft It. It sounds delicious! 🙂 Too bad that I can’t eat dairy. Maybe I’ll try to replace the cream cheese and buttermilk with soy yogurt and oil.

    Good morning Marilyn, Do you know I don’t think I have ever baked a cake with fresh strawberries actually in the cake, so I am really excited to try your recipe. As I live in England I will have to wait a couple of months before strawberries are in season, but it is so worth the wait to make your cake. I am really looking forward to baking it.
    With warmest wishes

    That sounds so delicious Marilyn. The buttermilk must make it so rich and filling too. I’m pinning so my lovely daughter can make us some next weekend.

    Hi Marilyn, I’m really glad I found you on Bloggers Pit-Stop.
    I’m always looking for new recipes. Strawberries and Cream Cheese Bread is really mouth watering. I will be buying Strawberries real soon, I always have Cream Cheese on hand. I eat a lot of it, can’t you tell.
    As soon as I can find my Mom’s recipe for Melt In Your Mouth Orange Drop Cookies I’ll share it with everyone.
    I have to check out your recipe for Pork Chops, My Husband thinks the’re Manna from Heaven, so I need a new way to prepare my Manna! Thanks for Sharing, Donna (I’ll be sharing these goodies with others)

      Welcome to my kitchen Donna! Glad you found me and like the bread. The pork chops are too die for! Just make sure they are center cut and they will cook through and stay moist and soft. You may want to season them to suit you. I didn’t put that in the directions as I get enough salt from the crackers. Your Orange Drop Cookies sound so good. I hope you find that recipe soon! Have a great day!

    Yum! I have tried to grow strawberries, but it is just so hot here it doesn’t work. I do always have strawberries freeze dried and ready to go, so I’m going to try this! #happynowlinkup

      Here in Michigan strawberries do quite well. For a lot of other fruits and veggies our growing season is too short. The freeze dried will work too! Have a great day!

    When I saw buttermilk as the first ingredient I knew I had to make this! I love buttermilk in baked goods. No fresh local strawberries till June here…..not sure I can hold out that long. I will have to buy from the grocery store! Thanks for the recipe!

    This sounds like a nice treat to have stashed in the freezer for a rainy day, which we’re having lots of. Hopefully, we’ll get some plump sweet strawberries in our stores soon.
