Description
This delicious strawberry butter cake is perfect for any occasion.
Ingredients
Scale
- 1 ½ cups chopped strawberries; stems removed
- 12 Tbsp salted butter (softened)
- 1 ⅓ cups granulated sugar
- 3 large eggs (room temperature)
- 2 tsp vanilla extract
- ½ cup buttermilk (room temperature)
- 2 cups all-purpose flour
- 2 tsp baking powder
- ¼ tsp salt
- 8–9 strawberries chopped in half (stems removed)
- 2 Tbsp sugar
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 350° F and spray a 10-inch cast iron skillet with cooking spray.
- In the bowl of a stand mixer fitted with a paddle attachment, cream the butter and 1 ⅓ cups sugar together for 3 minutes. Do not under mix or you won’t get as nice of a rise on your cake when it’s baked.
- Add the eggs and vanilla and mix again until well combined.
- In a mixing bowl, whisk together the flour, baking powder, and salt. Add half the dry ingredients and mix until not quite combined.
- Pour in the buttermilk and mix until almost combined followed by the remaining dry ingredients. Mix until just combined.
- Toss in the cut up strawberries and gently fold in.
- Pour the batter into the prepared skillet and even out with a spoon.
- Arrange the halved strawberries on top in a pretty way. Sprinkle 2 tablespoons of sugar over top of the whole pan.
- Bake, uncovered, for 35 minutes. Cover with foil and bake for an additional 15-20 minutes until a toothpick inserted comes out clean.
- Remove from the oven and let cool completely before cutting and serving.
- Sprinkle with an extra teaspoon of sugar on top after cooled, for garnish, if desired.
Notes
- Soften the butter before mixing for a better consistency.
- The buttermilk should also be at room temperature for best results.
