Ingredients

  • ▢ 

2 pounds fresh strawberries hulled and halved
  • ▢ 

1 cup granulated sugar divided
  • ▢ 

9 tablespoons unsalted butter
  • ▢ 

2¼ cup all-purpose flour
  • ▢ 

2½ teaspoons baking powder
  • ▢ 

1¼ cup milk
  • ▢ 

2 teaspoons vanilla extract
  • ▢ 

½ teaspoon kosher salt

Instructions

  • Preheat your oven to 350°F.
  • Add the sliced strawberries to a large bowl and toss with ⅓ cup of sugar. Set aside and allow the berries to sit while they release their juices.
  • Place the butter into a 13×9-inch baking dish and transfer it to the oven until fully melted, about 10 minutes.
  • While the butter is melting, whisk together the flour, baking powder, salt, and remaining ⅔ cup of sugar in a medium bowl. Pour in the milk and vanilla extract, stirring just until a smooth batter forms.
  • Carefully remove the hot baking dish from the oven and pour the batter evenly over the melted butter. Spoon the strawberries over the top of the batter, leaving behind and discarding any excess liquid from the bowl.
  • Bake for 55–60 minutes, or until the top is golden brown and the strawberry filling is bubbling around the edges. Remove from the oven and let cool for about 15 minutes before serving. Serve warm with vanilla ice cream, if desired.

Notes

Storage:
  • Store leftovers on the counter, covered tightly, at room temperature for 1 day after baking.
  • Store leftovers in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 4 days. When ready to enjoy, serve at room temperature or reheat gently at 325°F until warmed through. Cover with foil while reheating to keep it from drying out, but remove the covering during the last few minutes to crisp up the top.
