Instructions

  1. Preheat oven to 350 degrees. Butter an 8-inch square pan. Line with parchment paper, leaving a 2-inch overhang on two sides. Butter and flour parchment and pan, tapping out excess flour.

Make cake layer:

  1. In a medium bowl, whisk ¾ cup flour, baking powder and salt. In a large bowl, using an electric mixer, beat butter and confectioners’ sugar until light and fluffy. Beat in eggs, one at a time. With mixer on low, beat in vanilla, then flour mixture. Spread batter in prepared pan.

Make fruit layer:

  1. In a medium bowl, combine fruit, brown sugar and ¼ cup flour. Sprinkle cake layer with fruit.

Make streusel layer:

  1. Whisk together butter, brown sugar and salt. Add flour and mix with a fork. Refrigerate until mixture crumbles with a fork and is ready to use. Sprinkle fruit layer with streusel.
  2. Bake cake until golden and a toothpick inserted in center comes out with moist crumbs attached, 40-45 minutes. Let cool completely in pan. Using paper overhang, lift cake from pan. Cut into 16 bars.
