Ingredients

• 2 cups all-purpose flour
• 1 cup granulated sugar
• 2 teaspoons baking powder
• 0.5 teaspoon salt
• 0.5 cup unsalted butter, cold and cubed
• 1 large egg
• 0.5 cup whole milk
• 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
• 2 cups fresh strawberries, hulled and diced
• 0.5 cup brown sugar
• 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
• 0.25 cup unsalted butter, melted
• 0.75 cup all-purpose flour (for topping)

Directions

Step 1

Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and grease a 9-inch square baking pan or line it with parchment paper.

Step 2

In a large bowl, whisk together 2 cups of all-purpose flour, 1 cup of granulated sugar, 2 teaspoons of baking powder, and 0.5 teaspoon of salt.

Step 3

Cut in 0.5 cup of cold, cubed unsalted butter using a pastry cutter or your fingers until the mixture resembles coarse crumbs.

Step 4

In a small bowl, whisk together 1 large egg, 0.5 cup of whole milk, and 1 teaspoon of vanilla extract. Pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients and stir until just combined.

Step 5

Gently fold in 2 cups of diced fresh strawberries, being careful not to overmix.

Step 6

Pour the batter into the prepared baking pan and spread it evenly.

Step 7

In a medium bowl, mix 0.5 cup of brown sugar, 1 teaspoon of ground cinnamon, 0.75 cup of all-purpose flour, and 0.25 cup of melted unsalted butter. Stir until the mixture forms coarse crumbs.

Step 8

Sprinkle the crumb topping evenly over the batter in the pan.

Step 9

Bake in the preheated oven for 40-45 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.

Step 10

Allow the cake to cool in the pan for 10 minutes, then transfer it to a wire rack to cool completely before slicing. Serve warm or at room temperature.
