  • Total Time: 1 hour 5 minutes
  • Yield: 9 servings 1x

Ingredients

Scale
  • ¾ cup plus 2 tbsp all-purpose flour
  • ¼ cup granulated sugar
  • 2 tbsp packed light brown sugar
  • 6 tbsp salted butter, melted (or add a pinch of salt with unsalted butter)
  • 6 tbsp unsalted butter, melted
  • ¾ cup granulated sugar
  • 1 tsp pure vanilla extract
  • 2 large eggs (at room temperature)
  • ⅓ cup sour cream
  • 1 ⅓ cups all-purpose flour
  • 1 ½ tsp baking powder
  • ¼ tsp salt
  • ⅓ cup milk
  • 3 cups chopped fresh strawberries
  • 1 ½ tbsp all-purpose flour
  • 1 tbsp granulated sugar

Instructions

  1. Preheat your oven to 350°F. Line an 8×8-inch metal baking pan with parchment paper, leaving a two-inch overhang on each side.
  2. In a medium bowl, combine flour, both sugars, and salt (if using unsalted butter) for the crumb topping. Whisk until there are no lumps of brown sugar. Add melted butter to dry ingredients; stir until evenly combined. Use your fingertips to form large crumbs. Cover with a tea towel and set aside.
  3. In a medium mixing bowl, combine melted butter, sugar, and vanilla for the cake batter. Whisk until pale and fluffy. Add eggs one at a time; whisk until very light and creamy. Mix in sour cream. Sift together flour, baking powder, and salt in another bowl; whisk to blend. Fold the dry mixture into the wet mixture with a spatula until mostly combined. Pour in milk; fold until everything is evenly mixed. Spread batter evenly into the prepared pan.
  4. In a small bowl, combine flour with sugar for the strawberry layer; sprinkle over chopped strawberries. Toss until strawberries are coated evenly. Scatter strawberries over the batter evenly.
  5. Scatter clumps of crumb topping evenly over the strawberries to cover them completely. Bake for about 40–50 minutes until crumbs are golden and firm to touch. A toothpick inserted in the center should come out clean. Transfer to a wire rack; let cool for at least 30 minutes before serving.
