Oh, how I love strawberry season! We bought a 2lb. container this weekend for $4! $4.00!! That’s a super great price around these parts.
After a quick search on the interwebs, I decided to try this yummy seasonal recipe: Strawberry Cobbler Cake! It’s got all the makings of a cobbler, but just a tad more cakey. How’s that for a description?! It was yummy and the boys gobbled it right up. In fact, M declared it was the best thing he’d ever eaten, which is HUGE, since he is my straight shooter and frequently likes to tell me when things are “disgusting” or “so gross”.
STRAWBERRY COBBLER CAKE
1. Preheat oven to 350. Soften 3/4 cup butter and beat on medium. Add 3/4 cup sugar and continue to mix well. Add 1 egg and 1 teaspoon vanilla, mixing well.
2.Combine 1 1/4 cups flour with 1 1/4 teaspoons baking powder and 1/2 teaspoon salt. Add to butter mixture, alternately with 1/2 cup milk, beginning and ending with the flour mixture.
3. Pour into greased 8″ pan. Pour in batter and top with 2-3 cups of strawberries (which have been hulled and sliced in half), cut side down.
4. Make topping: Mix 1/4 cup flour and 1/4 cup sugar in a small bowl. Cut in 1/4 cup chilled butter. Sprinkle over cobbler. Bake at 350 for 45 minutes! Enjoy!
