Recipe FAQ's
Store the leftover cake in an airtight container at room temperature for up to two days or refrigerate it for up to one week.
Yes, you can substitute strawberries with other fruits like blueberries, raspberries, or peaches. Adjust the sugar content depending on the sweetness of the fruit.
This recipe was only tested using fresh fruit. If you try frozen, make sure to completely thaw and drain the juicy strawberries. I would even add a bit more flour to the strawberries before folding them into the cake batter.

Mom Tip
Remember to toss the sliced berries with flour. If you skip this step the strawberries will sink to the bottom of the coffee cake.
