  • Total Time: 1 hour 5 minutes
  • Yield: 12–16 servings

Ingredients

  • 2 cups all-purpose flour
  • 1 tsp baking powder
  • 1/2 tsp baking soda
  • 1/2 tsp salt
  • 3/4 cup granulated sugar
  • 2 large eggs
  • 1/2 cup vegetable oil
  • 1/2 cup sour cream or Greek yogurt
  • 1/4 cup milk
  • 1 tsp vanilla extract
  • 1 1/2 cups chopped fresh or frozen strawberries (tossed in 1 tbsp flour)
  • Cream Cheese Layer:
  • 8 oz cream cheese (softened)
  • 1/4 cup granulated sugar
  • 1 egg yolk
  • 1/2 tsp vanilla extract
  • Crumble Topping:
  • 3/4 cup all-purpose flour
  • 1/3 cup brown sugar
  • 1/4 cup cold butter (cubed)
  • Pinch of salt

Instructions

  1. Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C) and grease a 9×13-inch baking pan.
  2. For the crumble topping, mix flour, brown sugar, and salt. Cut in cold butter until crumbly. Chill until ready to use.
  3. In a bowl, whisk flour, baking powder, baking soda, and salt.
  4. In another bowl, beat eggs, sugar, oil, sour cream, milk, and vanilla. Mix in dry ingredients until just combined. Fold in strawberries.
  5. Spread batter in the prepared pan.
  6. For the cream cheese layer, beat cream cheese, sugar, egg yolk, and vanilla until smooth. Drop by spoonfuls over batter and swirl with a knife.
  7. Sprinkle chilled crumble topping evenly over the cake.
  8. Bake 40–45 minutes, until a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean.
  9. Cool before slicing and serving.

Notes

  • Use frozen strawberries without thawing—coat in flour to prevent sinking.
  • Add lemon zest to the batter for a citrus twist.
  • Top crumble with sliced almonds for added texture.
