Strawberry Coffee Cake


Ingredients
1 cup all-purpose flour
1⁄2 cup sugar
2 teaspoons baking powder
1⁄2 teaspoon salt
1 egg, beaten
1⁄2 cup milk
1 teaspoon vanilla (optional)
2 tablespoons butter, melted
1 1⁄2 - 2 cups sliced fresh strawberries

Topping
1⁄2 cup all-purpose flour
1⁄2 cup sugar
1⁄4 cup cold butter
1⁄4 cup chopped pecans

Directions
  1. In a mixing bowl, add the flour, sugar, baking powder and salt; stir to mix.
  2. In a second bowl, add the egg, milk and butter; stir to mix; add to dry ingredients and stir just until moistened.
  3. Pour mixture into a greased 8-inch square baking dish.
  4. Place strawberries evenly over the top of batter.
  5. To make the topping: Combine the flour and sugar in a bowl.
  6. With a pastry blender, cut in the butter until consistency of coarse crumbs.
  7. Stir in pecans.
  8. Sprinkle mixture evenly over the strawberries.
  9. Bake at 375° for 30-35 minutes or until wooden pick comes out clean.

Notes: I absolutely loved this and ate most of the pan myself (the kids were picky about it because it wasn't like the coffee cake they are used to). I was tired when I made it and didn't use nearly enough strawberries, though. More would have been even better. We didn't have pecans so I used walnuts. Also, I put raspberries on one corner instead of strawberries to test it out and liked that part the best.
