Ingredients:

For the Cake:

2 cups all-purpose flour
1/2 cup granulated sugar
1/4 cup brown sugar
1/2 cup unsalted butter, chilled and cubed
1/2 teaspoon baking powder
1/2 teaspoon baking soda
1/4 teaspoon salt
3/4 cup buttermilk
1 large egg
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
1 1/2 cups fresh strawberries, chopped

For the Crumb Topping:

1/2 cup all-purpose flour
1/4 cup granulated sugar
1/4 cup brown sugar
1/4 cup unsalted butter, melted

For the Vanilla Glaze:

1/2 cup powdered sugar
1 tablespoon milk
1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract

Directions:
Prepare Oven and Pan: Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease and line a 9-inch round cake pan with parchment paper.
Make Cake Batter: In a large bowl, mix together the flour, granulated sugar, brown sugar, baking powder, baking soda, and salt. Add the chilled, cubed butter and blend using a pastry cutter or fork until the mixture resembles coarse crumbs.
Combine Wet Ingredients: In a separate bowl, whisk together the buttermilk, egg, and vanilla extract.
Combine Mixtures: Gently stir the wet ingredients into the dry until just combined. Fold in the chopped strawberries. Pour the batter into the prepared pan, spreading evenly.
Add Crumb Topping: Mix the crumb topping ingredients together and sprinkle over the batter.
Bake: Place in the oven and bake for 35-40 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.
Cool and Glaze: Allow the cake to cool in the pan for 10 minutes, then transfer to a wire rack to cool completely. Whisk together the ingredients for the vanilla glaze and drizzle over the cooled cake.
