Ingredients
  

1 cup fresh strawberries, hulled and chopped

1/2 cup granulated sugar, divided

8 oz cream cheese, softened

1/2 cup powdered sugar

1/2 cup butter, softened

2 large eggs

1 tsp vanilla extract

2 cups all-purpose flour

1 tsp baking powder

1/2 tsp baking soda

1/2 tsp salt

1/2 cup buttermilk

Instructions
 

Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease a 9x5 inch loaf pan or line it with parchment paper.

    In a small bowl, toss the chopped strawberries with 1/4 cup of granulated sugar and set aside to macerate for about 15 minutes.

      In a medium bowl, beat together the softened cream cheese and powdered sugar until smooth and creamy. Set this mixture aside.

        In a large mixing bowl, cream the butter and remaining 1/4 cup of granulated sugar together until light and fluffy.

          Add the eggs one at a time, mixing well after each addition, and then stir in the vanilla extract.

            In another bowl, whisk together the flour, baking powder, baking soda, and salt. Gradually add this dry mixture to the wet ingredients, alternating with the buttermilk, beginning and ending with the flour mixture. Mix until just combined; do not overmix.

              Gently fold in the macerated strawberries along with their juices into the batter.

                Pour half of the batter into the prepared loaf pan. Spoon the cream cheese mixture over the batter, creating a layer in the center. Then, pour the remaining batter on top, smoothing out the top.

                  Bake in the preheated oven for 50-60 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean.

                    Let the bread cool in the pan for about 10 minutes before transferring it to a wire rack to cool completely.
