Fresh Strawberry Coffee Cake. Cooking with fresh fruit is something I love doing. Today I am sharing a recipe for Fresh Strawberry Coffee Cake using some of the first strawberries of the season from our local fruit stand.
Not long ago, I was going through some old recipes I had collected. There was a ripped out a page of a magazine for an Orange Coffee Cake. I am not sure if I had tried the recipe before or not. I doubt I have since I don't have any handwritten notes on it. Unfortunately, the name of the magazine is missing on the page I have. However, the recipe was submitted by a reader. Thank you, Mildred, for your inspiring recipe.
Feeling inspired by the old recipe and the recently purchased strawberries, I put together this yummy coffee cake.

I love the time of year that I can buy strawberries from our favorite little mom and pop fruit stand. The berries are so sweet and juicy. On this occasion, I decided to try them in a coffee cake, so I adjusted the ingredients and made a few other changes, and came up with this recipe. for Fresh Strawberry Coffee Cake.
I baked it in a springform pan. Using a glass or metal baking dish would also work just fine.
Most of the strawberries sank to the bottom. Next time I will remember to dust the berries with flour before stirring them in to help prevent this.
Great texture and flavor. The crumb topping is amazing! This Fresh Strawberry Coffee Cake was a big hit and worth adding to our recipe collection.

*I left small strawberries whole and sliced the rest in half. None of the berries I used were very big.
