📝 Instructions

Step 1

Heat oven to 350°F and grease an 8-inch baking dish (square or round) with a little extra unsalted butter. Set aside.

Step 2

Using your hands or the back of a fork, mash the strawberries (about 1 cup) in a small bowl to release all their juices, and stir in packed light brown sugar (from the packed light brown sugar). Set aside.

Step 3

In a medium bowl, whisk together the melted unsalted butter (1 stick), the remaining packed light brown sugar, whole milk (at room temperature), and kosher salt. Add the all-purpose flour and baking powder and continue whisking just until the batter is smooth. Transfer the batter to the greased baking dish, and spread evenly into corners.

Step 4

Spoon the strawberries and all their juices over the top of the cake batter. Place in the oven and bake for 20 to 25 minutes, or just when a toothpick comes out clean in the center. Remove from the oven and allow to cool for 3 to 5 minutes before spooning into bowls. Serve warm with vanilla ice cream.
