Description
A comforting dessert combining the cake-like topping of a crumb with a stew of sweet strawberries. The golden buttery cake layers over bubbling strawberries for a nostalgic, easy-to-make treat perfect for family gatherings or potlucks.
Ingredients
6 cups fresh or frozen strawberries, hulled and sliced if large
1 1/2 cups granulated sugar, divided (1 cup for strawberries, 1/2 cup for cake batter)
1 1/2 cups all-purpose flour, plus extra for dusting
2 teaspoons baking powder
1/4 teaspoon salt
1/2 cup (1 stick) unsalted butter, melted
1/2 cup milk (whole or 2%)
Instructions
Preheat oven to 375°F (190°C)
Toss strawberries with 1 cup sugar in a large bowl. Transfer to a 9×13-inch baking dish
In a separate bowl, whisk flour, baking powder, and salt
Stir in melted butter, milk, and remaining 1/2 cup sugar until just combined (do not overmix)
Drop spoonfuls of batter over the strawberries in the baking dish
Bake 40-50 minutes until golden and bubbly. Cool 10 minutes before serving
Notes
Frozen strawberries work well but drain them to avoid excess moisture
For extra flavor, swirl in a bit of vanilla extract with the sugar
Serve warm with vanilla ice cream
