Instructions

Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease and line an 8×8-inch baking dish with parchment paper.
In a mixing bowl, whisk together flour, baking powder, sugar, and salt.
In another bowl, beat eggs with melted butter, vanilla extract, and heavy cream until smooth.
Gradually add the wet ingredients to the dry ingredients, stirring until combined.
Gently fold in chopped strawberries.
Pour the batter into the prepared pan and smooth the top.
Bake for 25–30 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean.
Let cool completely before cutting into bars. Top with more strawberries and crumble topping if desired.

Notes

Use ripe, sweet strawberries for the best flavor.
Ensure the bars are fully cooled before slicing to maintain clean edges.
Optional toppings like whipped cream or crumble can enhance the dessert.
