• In a large bowl, combine the crumb topping ingredients - ¼ cup sugar, ¾ cup brown sugar, packed, 1 teaspoon cinnamon, ½ teaspoon kosher salt, 3 ½ cups cake flour, and 2 sticks of melted butter. Stir to combine. Set aside.

• Slowly add the half and half mixture to the flour butter mixture. Beat on medium speed for about 1 to 2 minutes or until smooth.
• Spread cake batter into prepared baking dish. Top with sautéed strawberries, but leave any accumulated juices in the sauté pan.
• Break up the crumb topping with a spoon. The pieces should be about the size of marbles. Sprinkle evenly on top of strawberries.
• Bake for 45 to 50 minutes or until toothpick comes out clean.
• Let cool completely and dust with powdered sugar.
