Ingredients

  • For the cake:
  • 1½ cups all-purpose flour
  • ½ teaspoon baking powder
  • ½ teaspoon baking soda
  • ¼ teaspoon salt
  • ½ cup unsalted butter, softened
  • ¾ cup granulated sugar
  • 2 large eggs, room temperature
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • ½ cup sour cream
  • 1½ cups fresh strawberries, washed, hulled, and chopped
  • For the crumble topping:
  • ½ cup all-purpose flour
  • ⅓ cup brown sugar
  • ¼ cup cold unsalted butter, cut into small cubes
  • Pinch of salt

Instructions

  1. Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease and lightly flour an 8×8-inch baking pan or line it with parchment paper.
  2. Prepare crumble topping: In a bowl, mix flour, brown sugar, and salt. Add cold butter and work it in until crumbly. Chill while making the cake batter.
  3. In a medium bowl, whisk together flour, baking powder, baking soda, and salt. Set aside.
  4. In a large bowl, cream softened butter and granulated sugar until light and fluffy.
  5. Add eggs one at a time, beating well after each. Stir in vanilla extract.
  6. Add dry ingredients in two additions, alternating with sour cream. Mix gently until just combined.
  7. Fold in chopped strawberries carefully.
  8. Spread batter evenly in the prepared pan. Top with the chilled crumble topping.
  9. Bake for 40–45 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean and the topping is golden.
  10. Let cool in the pan for at least 15 minutes before slicing and serving.

Notes

  • Use chilled butter and keep crumble topping cold before baking to ensure a crisp top.
  • Greek yogurt can be used instead of sour cream.
  • Add lemon zest or cinnamon to boost flavor.
  • Serve with whipped cream or vanilla ice cream for extra indulgence.
