Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease and flour a loaf pan.

In a mixing bowl, cream together the softened butter and sugar until light and fluffy.

Add the eggs one at a time, mixing well after each addition.

In a separate bowl, combine the flour, baking powder, and salt.

Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet mixture, alternating with the milk.

Stir in the vanilla extract.

Pour the batter into the prepared loaf pan and smooth the top.

Bake for 60 minutes or until a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean.

In a mixing bowl, combine powdered sugar, milk, and strawberry extract.

Mix until smooth and spreadable.

Allow the cake to cool in the pan for 10 minutes, then transfer to a wire rack to cool completely.

Once cooled, frost the cake with the strawberry frosting.
