How to Make Strawberry Crunch Cake

  1. Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease a 13x9 inch baking pan.
  2. Hull and slice the strawberries. Drain, reserving about ½ cup of the juice.
  3. In a large bowl, cream together the softened butter and granulated sugar until light and fluffy.
  4. Beat in the eggs one at a time, then stir in the sour cream.
  5. In a separate bowl, whisk together the flour, baking soda, salt, and baking powder.
  6. Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients, mixing until just combined.
  7. Pour half of the batter into the prepared pan.
  8. Spread the drained strawberries evenly over the batter.
  9. In a medium bowl, combine the chopped walnuts, brown sugar, cinnamon, and remaining ½ cup of granulated sugar.
  10. Sprinkle half of the walnut mixture over the strawberries.
  11. Pour the remaining batter over the top.
  12. Sprinkle with the remaining walnut mixture.
  13. Bake for 35-40 minutes, or until a wooden skewer inserted into the center comes out clean.
  14. While the cake is baking, prepare the glaze: In a small saucepan, whisk together the reserved strawberry juice and cornstarch.
  15. Cook over medium heat, stirring constantly, until the mixture thickens and becomes bubbly.
  16. Remove from heat and stir in the lemon juice.
  17. Let the glaze cool slightly before drizzling over the warm cake.
  18. Serve warm or at room temperature.
