Indulge in the rustic charm of Strawberry Spoon Cake, a delightful concoction that marries the comforting essence of spoonbread with the lightness of a pudding cake and the subtle heartiness of a biscuit. Crowned with macerated, juicy strawberries, this home-style dessert is best enjoyed warm, its tender center a testament to perfect under-baking.

Recipe View 10 mins In a medium bowl, gently combine the sliced strawberries with 2 tablespoons of sugar and the lemon juice. Allow the mixture to macerate for 10 minutes, drawing out the strawberries' natural juices and intensifying their flavor. (10 minutes)

Recipe View 10 mins Carefully remove the skillet from the oven. Swirl the melted butter to coat the bottom and sides of the skillet evenly. Reserve any remaining melted butter (if any) and pour it into the flour mixture. Set the skillet aside to cool slightly. Add the buttermilk and vanilla extract to the flour and butter mixture. Stir gently until just combined, being careful not to overmix; a few small lumps are perfectly fine. Pour the batter back into the prepared skillet, spreading it into an even layer. Spoon the macerated strawberries, along with their accumulated juices, evenly over the top of the batter.

Recipe View 5 mins Remove the skillet from the oven and let it cool for 5 minutes before serving. The cake will continue to set as it cools. Serve warm, preferably with a scoop of vanilla ice cream or a dollop of whipped cream, if desired.

For an extra layer of flavor, consider adding a pinch of cinnamon or nutmeg to the dry ingredients.
If you don't have buttermilk on hand, you can make a quick substitute by adding 1 tablespoon of lemon juice or white vinegar to a cup of milk. Let it sit for 5 minutes before using.
The key to a perfect spoon cake is to not overbake it. A slightly gooey center is what you're aiming for!
Feel free to experiment with other berries like raspberries, blueberries, or blackberries. Adjust the sugar accordingly based on the sweetness of the berries.
