Method
 

Prepare the Cake
  1. Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease and flour a 9-inch round cake pan.
  2. In a mixing bowl, cream together the softened butter and granulated sugar until light and fluffy.
  3. Add the eggs one at a time, mixing well after each addition. Stir in the vanilla extract.
  4. In a separate bowl, whisk together the flour, baking powder, baking soda, and salt.
  5. Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet mixture, alternating with the buttermilk. Mix until just combined.
  6. Fold in the sliced strawberries, lemon zest, and lemon juice.
Make the Streusel Topping
  1. In a small bowl, mix together the flour, brown sugar, and cinnamon.
  2. Cut in the cold butter until the mixture resembles coarse crumbs.
Bake the Cake
  1. Pour the cake batter into the prepared pan and sprinkle the streusel topping evenly over the batter.
  2. Bake in the preheated oven for 30-35 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.
  3. Allow to cool in the pan for 10 minutes before transferring to a wire rack to cool completely.
