Description

This Strawberry Crunch Cake is a delightful treat that combines the softness of a vanilla sponge with the bright acidity of fresh strawberries. The real star is the crunchy topping, made from butter, sugar, flour, and a hint of nutmeg, which adds a satisfying textural contrast to every bite. It’s perfect for summer potlucks, weekend brunches, or as a comforting dessert after a heavy meal. The cake is simple to assemble, requiring just one bowl for the batter and a fork to create the crumble. Serve it warm with a dollop of whipped cream for an extra touch of indulgence.

Directions

  1. Preheat the oven to 425°F (220°C) and grease a 10-inch springform pan.
  2. In a large bowl, combine the flour, whole-grain wheat flour, baking powder, sugar, and salt.
  3. Add the milk, eggs, lemon extract, and vanilla to the dry ingredients and mix well until just combined. The batter will be quite thick.
  4. Spread the batter evenly into the prepared springform pan.
  5. Sprinkle the sliced strawberries and sugar evenly over the top of the batter.
  6. In a separate small bowl, combine the remaining sugar, flour, whole-grain wheat flour, softened butter, and nutmeg.
  7. Mix the topping ingredients with a fork until the mixture becomes crumbly.
  8. Sprinkle the crumbly topping evenly over the strawberries and batter.
  9. Bake for 30 to 40 minutes, or until the cake is golden brown and a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.
  10. Allow the cake to cool in the pan for 10 minutes before removing the springform ring.
  11. Serve warm, topped with a dollop of whipped cream.
