Method
 

Step-by-Step Instructions
  1. Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and prepare an 8x8-inch baking dish by greasing it lightly or lining it with parchment paper.
  2. In a mixing bowl, cream together room-temperature unsalted butter and granulated sugar using an electric mixer on medium speed for 3-5 minutes until light and fluffy.
  3. Add two large eggs and freshly squeezed lemon juice into the creamed mixture and mix on low speed until just combined.
  4. In a separate bowl, whisk together the all-purpose flour, baking powder, and salt. Gradually add this to the wet ingredients while mixing on low speed until just combined.
  5. Fold in carefully diced fresh strawberries into the batter, ensuring not to overmix.
  6. Pour the batter into the prepared baking dish, spreading it evenly and bake for 25-30 minutes.
  7. After baking, let it cool in the pan on a wire rack for 15-20 minutes before slicing into squares.
