["Preheat oven to 350F. Grease 10 mini (2""X4"") loaf pans or one 13""X9"" baking pan and line the bottoms with parchment (you may also use cupcake pans, lining 24 standard size molds with standard paper cupcake liners).", "With an electric mixer, cream together butter, sugar and zest until light and fluffy.", "Add vanilla, followed by eggs - one at a time - beating well to incorporate between each addition.", "Whisk together flour, salt and baking powder to evenly distribute. Add one third of this dry mixture to the butter-egg mixture and mix to incorporate.", "Add one yolk, and mix to incorporate. Add half of remaining dry mixture, followed by remaining yolk, finishing with remaining dry mixture, mixing well after each addition.", "Place cream cheese and lemon zest in a heat-proof mixing bowl set over simmering water. Stir every so often, until cheese becomes warm, smooth and liquid.", "Remove mixing bowl from heat. Add sugar and vanilla extract well. (Do not whip or whisk, as incorporating air will make the cream cheese layer pasty and dry). Add beaten egg and mix to incorporate.", "Combine all ingredients and mix with your hands or a mixer until ingredients are evenly distributed and mixture falls in chunky crumbs.", "Divide cake layer batter evenly among prepared pans.", "Divide strawberries evenly among pans, spreading the berry pieces evenly over the surface of the cake batter and patting down gently.", "Diving cream cheese layer batter evenly among pans (there should be enough to just cover the berries in each pan).", "Sprinkle a healthy handful of crumbs over the cream cheese layer in each pan. Do not push down.", "Bake coffee cakes for 35 minutes, until a toothpick inserted in the center of the center cakes comes out clean (it may appear a bit damp, but should not have any batter clinging to it). Allow cakes to cool for 5 to 10 minutes in the pans. Carefully loosen each cake with a paring knife and gently turn cakes out. Cool completely, crumb-side up on wire racks. Cakes keep about 3 days (though crumb topping will become less crunchy/crumbly after storage)."]
