As another strawberry season comes to the end, this sweet treat will leave you slicing until next season. Sweets are truly something I absolutely love especially after a nice meal or even for a snack. This strawberry bread is absolutely delicious and it pairs perfect with ice cream or just have it simple with coffee or milk. Coming from a Colombian background, my family is a big fan of having nice cup of black coffee with something sweet and fresh. This is the perfect balance and honestly it can also be enjoy for breakfast when having those busy mornings. Try it out and let me know what you think!
