Ingredients
  • 6 tablespoons unsalted butter, at room temperature
  • 1½ cups  all-purpose flour
  • 1½ teaspoons baking powder
  • ½ teaspoon table salt
  • ¾ cup plus 2 tablespoons granulated sugar
  • 1 large egg
  • ½ cup milk
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 1 pound (450 grams) strawberries, hulled and halved
Instructions
  1. Preheat oven to 350°F (180°C). Butter a 10-inch pie pan or 9-inch deep cake pan. Do not use a 9-inch regular pie dish because it will overflow.
  2. Whisk flour, baking powder and salt together in a small bowl. In a larger bowl, beat butter and ¾ cup sugar until pale and fluffy with an electric mixer, about 3 minutes. Mix in egg, milk and vanilla until just combined. Add dry mixture gradually, mixing until just smooth.
  3. Pour into prepared pie plate. Arrange strawberries, cut side down, on top of batter, as closely as possible in a single layer. Sprinkle-remaining 2 tablespoons sugar over berries.
  4. Bake cake for 10 minutes then reduce oven temperature to 325°F and bake cake until golden brown and a tester comes out free of wet batter, about 50 minutes to 60 minutes. (Gooey strawberries on the tester are a given.) Let cool in pan on a rack. Cut into wedges. Serve with lightly whipped cream.
