This strawberry coffee cake is simple to make and only requires berries along with several staple / pantry ingredients. Perfect for breakfast with a cup of coffee or serve at a spring or summertime brunch. This cake is soft, light, not too sweet and is bursting with fresh strawberry flavor. The streusel topping finishes it off perfectly and definitely makes this dessert company worthy.
Ingredients:
Preheat oven to 350F. Grease 9 X 9-inch baking pan with butter. We used a 7 X 10 inch here and it worked out perfectly.
Beat 1/4 cup softened butter in a bowl until creamy. Add 1 teaspoon vanilla, 3/4-cup white sugar and egg. Beat until incorporated and fluffy.
In a separate bowl combine 1 1/2 cup flour, baking powder and salt. Stir flour mixture into butter mixture alternating with adding the milk.
Pour batter into the greased baking dish. Arrange strawberries on top of batter.
Mix 1/2 cup flour, 1/4 cup white sugar, 1/4 cup brown sugar and 1/4 cup softened butter to make the streusel topping. Sprinkle over the top.
Bake until a toothpick inserted in center comes out clean – approximately 35 minutes. Sprinkle ground cinnamon over the top. Let cool for at least 15 minutes before cutting and serving.
Serve with your favorite coffee and enjoy!
