- 2 cups all-purpose flour
- 1 cup granulated sugar
- 1/2 cup unsalted butter, softened
- 2 large eggs
- 1 cup sour cream
- 1 tsp vanilla extract
- 1 tsp baking powder
- 1/2 tsp baking soda
- 1/2 tsp salt
- 1 1/2 cups fresh strawberries, diced
- 1/2 cup brown sugar
- 1/2 cup all-purpose flour (for streusel)
- 1/4 cup unsalted butter, melted (for streusel)
- 1/2 tsp cinnamon
- 1/2 cup powdered sugar (for glaze)
- 1–2 tbsp milk (for glaze)
- Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease and flour a 9-inch square baking pan.
- In a medium bowl, whisk together flour, baking powder, baking soda, and salt.
- In a large bowl, cream butter and sugar until light and fluffy. Beat in eggs, vanilla, and sour cream until smooth.
- Gradually add dry ingredients to wet mixture, mixing until just combined.
- Fold in diced strawberries gently.
- Pour batter into prepared pan and spread evenly.
- In a small bowl, combine brown sugar, flour, cinnamon, and melted butter to make streusel. Sprinkle over the batter.
- Bake for 40–45 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean.
- Cool cake slightly before preparing glaze. Whisk powdered sugar with milk until smooth, then drizzle over the cooled cake.
- Slice and serve warm or at room temperature.
Notes
- Frozen strawberries can be used, but thaw and drain them first to avoid excess moisture.
- For extra flavor, add a pinch of nutmeg to the streusel topping.
- This cake keeps well in an airtight container for up to 3 days.
