Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 2 cups all-purpose flour
- 2 teaspoons baking powder
- 0.25 teaspoons salt
- 0.5 cups unsalted butter (softened)
- 0.75 cups granulated sugar
- 2 eggs
- 1 teaspoons vanilla extract
- 0.5 cups whole milk
- 2 cups fresh strawberries (hulled and sliced)
- 0.5 cups all-purpose flour (for topping)
- 0.5 cups granulated sugar (for topping)
- 0.25 cups unsalted butter (melted, for topping)
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease and flour a 9-inch round or square baking pan, or line it with parchment paper.
In a medium bowl, whisk together 2 cups of all-purpose flour, baking powder, and salt. Set aside.
In a large mixing bowl, cream together the softened butter and 3/4 cup of granulated sugar until light and fluffy using a hand or stand mixer.
Add the eggs, one at a time, beating well after each addition. Mix in the vanilla extract.
Gradually add the dry flour mixture to the wet ingredients, alternating with the milk. Begin and end with the flour mixture, mixing until just combined. Avoid overmixing.
Gently fold the sliced strawberries into the batter using a spatula.
Pour the batter into the prepared pan, spreading it evenly.
In a small bowl, prepare the crumb topping by combining 0.5 cups of flour, 0.5 cups of granulated sugar, and melted butter. Mix until the mixture resembles coarse crumbs.
Sprinkle the crumb topping evenly over the batter.
Bake the buckle in the preheated oven for 40-45 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.
Remove the cake from the oven and allow it to cool on a wire rack before serving. Serve warm or at room temperature. Enjoy!
