Ingredients

Scale

For the Cake:

  • 1 ½ cups all-purpose flour
  • 1 tsp baking powder
  • ¼ tsp baking soda
  • ½ tsp salt
  • ½ cup unsalted butter, softened
  • ¾ cup granulated sugar
  • 2 large eggs
  • 1 tsp vanilla extract
  • ½ cup sour cream (or Greek yogurt)
  • 1 ½ cups fresh strawberries, hulled and chopped

For the Crumb Topping:

  • ½ cup all-purpose flour
  • ¼ cup brown sugar
  • 2 tbsp granulated sugar
  • ½ tsp cinnamon
  • ¼ cup unsalted butter, melted

Optional Glaze:

  • ½ cup powdered sugar
  • 1 tbsp milk
  • ½ tsp vanilla extract

Instructions

Step 1: Prepare the Crumb Topping

  1. In a small bowl, mix flour, brown sugar, granulated sugar, and cinnamon.
  2. Pour in the melted butter and mix until crumbly.
  3. Set aside while preparing the cake.

Step 2: Make the Cake Batter

  1. Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and grease a 9-inch baking pan.
  2. In a medium bowl, whisk together flour, baking powder, baking soda, and salt.
  3. In a separate bowl, beat butter and sugar until light and fluffy.
  4. Add eggs one at a time, then mix in vanilla extract and sour cream.
  5. Gradually add the dry ingredients, mixing until just combined.
  6. Gently fold in the chopped strawberries.

Step 3: Assemble and Bake

  1. Pour the batter into the prepared baking pan, spreading evenly.
  2. Sprinkle the crumb topping generously over the batter.
  3. Bake for 40-45 minutes or until a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean.
  4. Let the cake cool in the pan for 15 minutes before transferring to a wire rack.

Step 4: Make the Optional Glaze

  1. In a small bowl, whisk together powdered sugar, milk, and vanilla extract.
  2. Drizzle over the cooled cake before serving.

Notes

  • Use fresh strawberries for the best flavor and texture.
  • Don’t overmix the batter—this keeps the cake soft and fluffy.
  • For extra crunch, add chopped nuts (like almonds or pecans) to the crumb topping.
  • Let the cake cool completely before slicing to prevent crumbling.
