I like to take this to our family potlucks and summer barbecues that we get invited to. It is always a huge hit. I think it’s the fresh fruit that really sets it off and makes it more of a light and summery dessert than just a plain coffee cake. Whenever I make this at home, I have to keep it hidden in the fridge so that my husband doesn’t eat it all on me! Blueberries, cherries, and other fruits are also very good in this cake. Check out what they are saying about this recipe over at All Recipes:
“This a simple and delicious coffee cake. I love the fresh strawberry and sugar crumb topping.”
You can use strawberries, or any fresh fruit that you have purchased in season.
