Description
A delightful strawberry cake perfect for any occasion.
Ingredients
Scale
- 2 cups fresh strawberries, hulled and halved
- 1/4 cup (60 grams) unsalted butter, melted
- 1/2 cup (120 ml) honey
- 1/4 cup (50 grams) brown sugar
- 1 1/2 cups (190 grams) all-purpose flour
- 1/2 cup (100 grams) granulated sugar
- 1 1/2 teaspoons baking powder
- 1/4 teaspoon salt
- 1/2 cup (120 ml) milk
- 2 large eggs
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease a 9-inch round cake pan with butter or non-stick spray.
- In a small bowl, mix the melted butter, honey, and brown sugar until well combined. Pour this mixture into the bottom of the prepared cake pan. Arrange the halved strawberries in a single layer on top of the honey mixture, cut side up.
- In a medium bowl, whisk together the flour, granulated sugar, baking powder, and salt until evenly combined.
- In a separate large bowl, whisk together the milk, eggs, and vanilla extract until smooth.
- Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients, stirring gently until just combined. Be careful not to overmix; a few lumps are okay.
- Carefully pour the cake batter over the arranged strawberries in the cake pan, spreading it evenly.
- Place the cake in the preheated oven and bake for 30-35 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean and the top is golden brown.
- Once baked, remove the cake from the oven and let it cool in the pan for about 10 minutes. Then, run a knife around the edges to loosen it. Place a serving plate on top of the cake pan and carefully invert the cake onto the plate, allowing the strawberries to be on top.
- Allow the cake to cool slightly before slicing. Serve warm or at room temperature, optionally with a dollop of whipped cream or a scoop of vanilla ice cream.
Notes
- This cake can be served warm or at room temperature.
- Optionally, serve it with whipped cream or vanilla ice cream.
