Add the dry ingredients and the buttermilk until mix until combined, making sure to scrape down the sides during the process. Remove the bowl from the mixer, and fold in the strawberries. Set the batter aside.
Make the California Walnut Streusel by combining all ingredients in small bowl. Using your fingers, mix it around until it’s crumbly and set aside.
Fold half of the streusel mixture into the batter and stir to combine. Spoon 1/4 cup of the batter into each cupcake mold. Sprinkle the top with a few teaspoons of the streusel. Bake for about 30-35 minutes, or until the cake is light and fluffy and a toothpick can be inserted into the center and is clean when removed. Remove from oven and let cool before serving.
