Method
 

Step-by-Step Instructions
  1. Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and grease a 9x13 inch baking dish.
  2. Hull and slice fresh strawberries; chop rhubarb into 1/4 to 1/2-inch slices, and zest a lemon.
  3. In a large mixing bowl, combine melted butter with both sugars. Stir until smooth, then add eggs and beat well. Mix in vanilla extract and lemon zest.
  4. In another bowl, whisk together flour, baking powder, and salt. Fold this dry mixture into wet ingredients until just combined.
  5. Fold in sliced strawberries and rhubarb, reserving some fruit for topping.
  6. Pour batter into baking dish, top with reserved fruit pieces, and sprinkle white chocolate chips over the surface.
  7. Bake for 30-35 minutes until edges are golden brown; a toothpick should come out with a few moist crumbs.
  8. Allow to cool for 15 minutes before cutting. Drizzle melted white chocolate on top before fully cooling.
