- 1 cup fresh strawberries (chopped)
- Zest and juice of 1 lemon
- 1 tsp vanilla extract

Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and grease a loaf pan.
- In a large bowl, cream together the softened butter and granulated sugar until light and fluffy (about 3-5 minutes).
- Add the eggs one at a time, mixing well after each addition. Stir in lemon zest, lemon juice, and vanilla extract.
- In a separate bowl, whisk together flour, baking powder, and salt. Gradually add to the wet mixture until just combined.
