Strawberry crumb cake is the ultimate Spring and Summer dessert! Moist vanilla cake is topped with jammy strawberries and a crunchy streusel topping.

Ingredients for the Crumble

Melted butter, granulated sugar, light or dark brown sugar, and all purpose flour.

Ingredients for the Cake

Flour, sugar, baking powder, salt, butter, eggs, vanilla, buttermilk, and strawberry jam or compote.

Make the crumble by whisking the butter, sugars, and flour together. Place in the refrigerator until ready to use.

Step 1

To make the cake, give the dry ingredients a good mix and beat in the softened butter until the texture is sandy.

Add the eggs and vanilla. After that, stream in the buttermilk while the mixer runs on medium low.

Step 3

Spread the batter into a square pan. Then spread the strawberry layer on top not pressing it into the batter.
