  • â…“ cup cornstarch

  • 2 cups chopped fresh rhubarb

  • 1 (10 ounce) package frozen sliced strawberries, thawed

  • 2 tablespoons lemon juice

Cake:

  • 3 cups all-purpose flour

  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract

Topping:

  2. While the filling cools, preheat the oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C). Lightly grease a 9x13-inch baking dish.

  4. Whisk buttermilk, eggs, and vanilla together in a separate bowl; stir into flour mixture until just moistened. Spoon 2/3 of batter into the prepared pan; spread cooled filling over top, then cover with remaining 1/3 of batter.

  5. Combine 3/4 cup sugar and 1/2 cup flour in a bowl. Cut in 1/4 cup cold butter using 2 knives or pastry blender until the mixture resembles coarse crumbs; sprinkle over batter.

  6. Bake in the preheated oven until topping is golden brown and a tester inserted into the center comes out clean, 45 to 50 minutes. Cool on a wire rack.
