Fresh Strawberry Coffee Cake

Ingredients

• 1/4 cup butter
• 3/4 cup white sugar
• 1 egg
• 1 1/2 cups all-purpose flour
• 2 teaspoons baking powder

• 1/2 cup all-purpose flour
• 1/2 cup white sugar

Directions

Preheat oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C). Grease a 9-inch baking pan.

Beat 1/4 cup butter in a bowl until creamy; add 3/4 cup sugar and egg. Beat until fully incorporated.

Mix 1 1/2 cup flour, baking powder, and salt together in a separate bowl. Stir flour mixture, alternating with milk, into butter mixture until combined. Pour batter into prepared baking pan. Arrange strawberries atop the batter.
