Strawberry Coffee Cake

I have had the pleasure of joining world traveler and culinary expert Eleanor Ostman, a Midwest friend of Finnish heritage, on many international trips she has led for newspaper food editors, garnering recipes from Capetown , South Africa, to Sydney, Australia. When she relaxes at her family's lakeside Minnesota cabin, a holiday outing involves picking "behemoth berries"å at the nearby berry farm. The bounty goes into this luscious berry-laden cake to serve guests.
