Steps:
- Strawberry crumble:
- Pulse almonds in a food processor until about the size of grains of rice. Add strawberries and pulse to a coarse powder. Add flour, sugar, and salt and pulse just to blend. Add butter and process until no dry spots remain.
- Cake and assembly:
- Preheat oven to 350°F. Coat pan with nonstick spray. Whisk flour, cornmeal, baking powder, and salt in a medium bowl. Using an electric mixer on medium speed, break up almond paste in a large bowl until crumbly. Add sugar and butter and mix until blended, about 2 minutes. Add eggs one at a time, mixing well to incorporate after each addition. Increase speed to medium-high and beat until mixture is light and fluffy, about 3 minutes. Reduce speed to low and mix in dry ingredients.
- Scrape batter into pan; scatter strawberries over top, followed by clumps of crumble. Bake cake until top is golden brown and a tester inserted into the center comes out clean, 80-90 minutes. Let cool in pan before unmolding. Dust with powdered sugar just before serving.

Tips:
- Use fresh strawberries. Fresh strawberries have the best flavor and texture for this cake, but you can also use frozen strawberries if they are thawed and drained first.
- Don't overmix the batter. Overmixing the batter will make the cake tough. Mix just until the ingredients are combined.
- Bake the cake in a preheated oven. This will help the cake to rise evenly.
- Let the cake cool completely before serving. This will allow the flavors to develop and the cake to set.
- Serve the cake with your favorite toppings. This cake is delicious on its own, but you can also serve it with whipped cream, ice cream, or fresh berries.
