How to make strawberry almond coffee cake

Start by making the crumb topping by mixing all the ingredients and working the butter into the dry ingredients with your fingers. Once that is done you can set it aside and start the cake batter.

Start by mixing together your dry ingredients. Then blend your butter and sugar until super smooth. The add in the other wet ingredients and then the dry. For this recipe I fold in about half of the strawberries and then put the other half on top. I don’t use the mixer to blend in the strawberries because then it can smash them and turn the whole cake red. Just fold them in gently.

Cake substitutions

If you don’t have sliced almonds you can also chop up some almonds into small piece and use that or substitute slivered almonds. Instead of plain yogurt you can also use sour cream instead.
