Mr. Right and I were craving something sweet a few days ago for dessert. Since I had just bought a few quarts of strawberries at the grocery, I went online and googled strawberry cake. I didn’t want to make a plain ole short cake, not that there’s anything wrong with that. I found an easy strawberry cake recipe on the Martha Stewart website. Often times, Martha’s recipes are anything but easy, but this one mixed up in just a few minutes and was ready for us to have a warm piece when dinner was over. It was really tasty, and I think that if you are a strawberry lover, you will like this yummy dessert.

Strawberry Cake
Ingredients
- 6 tablespoons unsalted butter, softened, plus more for pie plate
- 1 1/2 cups all-purpose flour
- 1 1/2 teaspoons baking powder
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
- 1 cup plus 2 tablespoons sugar
- 1 large egg
- 1/2 cup milk
- 1 teaspoon pure vanilla extract
- 1 pound strawberries, hulled and halved
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 350 degrees. Butter a 10-inch pie plate. Sift flour, baking powder, and salt together into a medium bowl.
- Put butter and 1 cup sugar in the bowl of an electric mixer fitted with the paddle attachment. Mix on medium-high speed until pale and fluffy, about 3 minutes. Reduce speed to medium-low; mix in egg, milk, and vanilla.
- Reduce speed to low; gradually mix in flour mixture. Transfer batter to buttered pie plate. Arrange strawberries on top of batter, cut sides down and as close together as possible. Sprinkle remaining 2 tablespoons sugar over berries.
- Bake cake 10 minutes. Reduce oven temperature to 325 degrees. Bake until cake is golden brown and firm to the touch, about 1 hour. Let cool in pie plate on a wire rack. Cut into wedges.
