Method
 

Step‑by‑Step Instructions
  1. In a large mixing bowl, whisk together flour, baking soda, cinnamon, nutmeg, and salt. Set aside.
  2. In a separate bowl, beat the butter and sugar until light and fluffy, about 2-3 minutes.
  3. Add eggs one at a time, mixing well after each addition. Then, mix in the vanilla extract.
  4. Gradually add the dry mixture to the wet ingredients, alternating with sour cream. Mix until just combined.
  5. Carefully fold in chopped strawberries and nuts if using.
  6. Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C).
  7. Grease and flour a 9x5 inch loaf pan.
  8. Transfer the batter into the prepared loaf pan and level the top.
  9. Bake for 50-60 minutes, rotating halfway through. Test doneness with a toothpick.
  10. Let cool in the pan for 10-15 minutes before transferring to a wire rack.
  11. Once cooled, slice and serve with butter, cream cheese, or jam.
