Strawberry Coffee Cake

April 12, 2016 by Kristin 3 Comments

A few weeks ago, my hubby and I took the kids to the local strawberry pick farm. When we lived in Seattle, we used to go to our local farm, pick berries, and make tons of homemade jam. Since we had tons of jam already, I didn’t need a lot, but still wanted the kids to be able to pick.

Well, when you have 3 kids that are GREAT strawberry pickers, buckets fill up quite fast. In a matter of minutes, we had about ten pounds of berries to bring home. Yes, I was excited, but I had absolutely no clue what to do with them! I decided to freeze some, make some strawberry banana bread, and make a coffee cake.

The coffee cake was a huge hit with my family! Moist cake and sweet strawberries made this the perfect morning treat! This recipe makes an 8 x 8, but after making this one time, I say double it and make a 9 x 13 so you have plenty of leftovers. Trust me, you are going to want that!!

Enjoy!!

    I’m wondering if this recipe would be just as good with blackberries.

    Oh for sure! I bet that would be delicious! Just be careful when stirring the blackberries in as you don’t want them to discolor your batter!! Enjoy!
