Strawberry Spoon Cake

Recipe Description

This Strawberry Spoon Cake recipe is as easy as pie and makes for a delightful dessert that tastes like summertime on a plate. Moist and tender and topped with juicy strawberries, I won’t judge you if you want to eat this cake with a spoon. Serve it with a dollop of vanilla ice cream and enjoy. Yum!

To make this recipe, start with the fruit. Hull and halve the strawberries and place them in a small bowl. Add half the sugar and mash the strawberries gently with a fork to release some of the juices. Next, add the remaining ingredients to a bowl and whisk until smooth batter forms. Pour the batter into a greased pie dish and top with the strawberries. Bake for about 25 minutes and let cool for 5 minutes before serving. Pro tip: Add half a tablespoon of balsamic vinegar to the strawberry sugar mixture for that extra touch that will make this recipe special.
