Fresh Strawberry Coffeecake

This delicious coffeecake is quick and easy to make. I recently made this coffeecake to bring to Mom's for a Labor Day get together. Because I was also making eclairs, I figured it would be fine that this recipe is just a small coffeecake. This coffeecake was so good that there was just one small piece left at the end of the party. 

The recipe calls for using fresh strawberries. In the summertime, fresh strawberries are plentiful and delicious. But I do think that this coffeecake would be just fine with frozen strawberries that should be thawed before being sliced. Or you could substitute another fruit and still have a delicious coffeecake.
