  4. Pour in the pure vanilla extract and mix.
  5. In a separate bowl, whisk together flour, baking powder, baking soda, and Kosher salt.
  6. Gradually mix the dry ingredients into the wet mixture until just incorporated.
  7. Add buttermilk and stir gently until combined. Avoid overmixing.
  8. Fold in the fresh strawberries gently.
Baking
  1. Pour the mixture into the prepared loaf pan.
