Partyof7

subheading: For the jam layer:

8 ounces fresh strawberries, hulled

3 tablespoons strawberry jam (I've also used raspberry, and I bet other types-apricot!-would be good too)

2 teaspoons cornstarch

2 teaspoons vanilla extract

In a blender, combine the strawberries and jam and process until combined. Make a slurry of the cornstarch and vanilla extract, add to blender, and blend until smooth. Set aside for later.

subheading: For the cake and crumb topping:

¾ cup sugar

1 cup all-purpose flour

1 cup plus 2 tablespoons whole wheat pastry flour (or substitute all-purpose flour)

1 teaspoon baking powder

½ teaspoon baking soda

12 tablespoons (1 ½ sticks) cold salted butter, cut into ½-inch cubes

1 cup sour cream

1 large egg

1 tablespoon vanilla extract

2 teaspoons Demerara or turbinado sugar
