  4. Gradually add the dry ingredient mixture to the wet ingredients, alternating with 1 cup of sour cream, mixing on low speed until just combined.
  5. Gently fold in 2 cups of hulled and chopped fresh strawberries and ½ cup of chopped walnuts or pecans.
  6. Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C).
  7. Grease and flour a 9x5 inch loaf pan.
