Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C). Lightly grease or flour a loaf pan.

In a medium bowl, whisk together flour, baking powder, and salt. Set aside.

In a large mixing bowl, beat butter and sugar until light and fluffy. Add egg and vanilla; mix for 1 minute.

Add milk and half of the flour mixture, mixing briefly. Add remaining flour mixture, scraping sides of bowl as needed.

Batter will be thick. Gently fold in chopped strawberries until evenly distributed.

Transfer batter to prepared loaf pan and smooth the top.

Bake for about 50 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean.

Remove from oven and allow bread to cool completely.

Make the Strawberry Glaze

In a medium bowl, whisk powdered sugar, melted butter, vanilla (or almond extract), and cream.

Stir in chopped strawberries until smooth.

For a thicker glaze, add additional powdered sugar ¼ cup at a time until desired consistency is reached.

Drizzle glaze over cooled bread, slice, and serve.
