Step-by-Step Instructions
  1. Preheat your oven to 350°F (177°C) and prepare a 9" x 5" loaf pan with non-stick spray.
  2. In a large bowl, whisk together all-purpose flour, granulated sugar, baking soda, and salt. Fold in chopped fresh strawberries.
  3. In a separate bowl, mix milk, melted butter, egg, vanilla extract, lemon juice, and lemon zest.
  4. Pour wet ingredients into dry ingredients and mix gently until just combined. Transfer the batter to the prepared loaf pan.
  5. Sprinkle reserved strawberries on top and gently press them into the batter. Bake for 55-60 minutes.
