📝 Preparation Steps
1
Preheat oven to 350 degrees F. Grease an 8x8-inch pan.
2
For the topping: Using a fork, pastry blender, or your hands, combine all the ingredients until you have pea size crumbs. Place in the fridge while you make the cake batter.
3
For the cake: In a large bowl with an electric mixer, cream together the sugar, shortening, and butter until light and fluffy. Beat in the egg, lemon zest, and vanilla until combined, smooth, and fluffy.

NOTE: If using frozen berries, do not thaw them first to avoid discoloring the batter, and gently fold them in. You'll likely need to increase the baking time by ⏱️ 5-10 minutes. Watch the cake and tent with foil if the topping is over-browning.
