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)

Directions

Step 1

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.

Step 2

In a medium bowl, whisk together 2 cups of all-purpose flour, baking powder, and salt. Set aside.

Step 3

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.

Step 4

Add the eggs, one at a time, beating well after each addition. Mix in the vanilla extract.

Step 5

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.

Step 6

Gently fold the sliced strawberries into the batter using a spatula.

Step 7

Pour the batter into the prepared pan, spreading it evenly.

Step 8

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.

Step 9

Sprinkle the crumb topping evenly over the batter.

Step 10

Bake the buckle in the preheated oven for 40-45 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.

Step 11

Remove the cake from the oven and allow it to cool on a wire rack before serving. Serve warm or at room temperature. Enjoy!
