Strawberry Skillet Cake
A simple cake full of the juiciest strawberries creates the best dessert or breakfast treat to go with a cup of coffee.
Ingredients
- 8 tbsp unsalted butter softened
- 1 cup sugar
- 2 eggs
- 2 tsp vanilla
- 1 1/3 cup all purpose flour
- 1 1/4 tsp baking powder
- 1/4 tsp salt
- 1/2 cup sour cream
- 1 1/2 cup strawberries diced
- 3 tbsp coarse sugar
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 350 degrees and grease a cast iron skillet (see notes for alternatives).
- In a large bowl, beat the butter and sugar for 3-4 min until creamy. Add in the eggs and vanilla and beat again.
- Mix the flour, baking powder and salt in a small bowl. Add half of the flour mixture to the bowl, beat, then add the sour cream, beat again and add the remaining flour. Beat until just combined.
- Add in the strawberries and fold them into the batter, being careful not to squish them much so they don't bleed.
- Pour into your prepared skillet and top with the coarse sugar (see notes). Bake for 45-55 min or until a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean.
- Let it cool for at least 30 min before cutting into it. I love this one warm so I never let it fully cool before digging in. Yum!
Notes
- If you don't have a cast iron skillet, you can also use a springform pan or regular cake pan.
- If you don't have coarse sugar, regular sugar works just as well. ;)
