Steps

  1. 1

    Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease and line a loaf pan with parchment paper.

  2. 2

    Whisk the flour, baking powder, and salt in a medium bowl.

  3. 3

    In a larger bowl, rub the sugar and lime zest together with your fingers until fragrant, then whisk in the eggs, yogurt, oil, and vanilla.

  4. 4

    Fold the dry ingredients into the wet mixture just until combined, then gently fold in the strawberries.

  5. 5

    Scrape the batter into the loaf pan and smooth the top.

  6. 6

    Bake for 45 to 50 minutes until golden and a tester inserted in the center comes out clean.

  7. 7

    Cool in the pan for 15 minutes, then transfer to a rack to cool completely before slicing.

Optional moves for when you want to impress.

  • Brush the warm loaf with a little lime syrup for extra gloss and citrus punch.
  • Scatter coarse sugar over the top before baking for a crackly finish.
  • Swap half the strawberries for raspberries if you want a tarter berry note.
  • Serve thick slices with softly whipped cream or a spoon of crème fraîche.
