Ingredients Method Notes

Ingredients
  

  • 2 cups all purpose flour
  • 1 ½ tsp baking powder
  • ½ tsp baking soda
  • ½ tsp fine sea salt
  • ½ cup unsalted butter, softened
  • 1 cup granulated sugar
  • 2 large eggs
  • 2 tsp vanilla extract
  • ¾ cup buttermilk
  • 1 lb fresh strawberries, hulled and diced
  • ½ cup packed light brown sugar
  • ⅓ cup all purpose flour
  • 1 tsp ground cinnamon
  • 3 tbsp cold unsalted butter, diced

Method
 

  1. Preheat oven to 350°F. In a medium bowl, whisk 2 cups flour, baking powder, baking soda, and salt.
  2. In a large bowl, beat ½ cup butter and sugar until light, then mix in eggs and vanilla.
  3. Alternate adding the flour mixture and buttermilk in three additions, stirring just until combined.
  4. Gently fold in the diced strawberries with a spatula.
  5. In the same medium bowl, mix brown sugar, ⅓ cup flour, and cinnamon. Work in 3 tbsp cold butter until clumpy. Scrape batter into a greased parchment lined 9 inch square pan, top with streusel, and bake 45 to 50 minutes until golden and a skewer comes out clean.
  6. Cool in the pan 15 minutes, then lift out, slice, and serve warm.

Notes

If your berries are very ripe and release a lot of juice, pat them dry with a paper towel before folding them in. This keeps the crumb around them from getting too wet. A light dusting of powdered sugar on top just before serving looks nice but is completely optional.
