STRAWBERRY SPOON CAKE
This unfussy cake with a top layer of jammy strawberries is so gooey it's best to serve the whole thing with a spoon. The batter comes together quickly with minimal effort, using basic pantry ingredients and a small handful of berries - frozen or fresh. If you're using frozen, be sure to defrost them in the microwave first. Extract as much juice as possible from the fruit by macerating and mashing it, so that it lends the cake additional moisture while baking. Add a dash of freshly ground cardamom or ground ginger on top before baking it off, if you like, or some ribbons of fresh basil once it's hot out of the oven. Whatever embellishments you decide on, burrowing warm spoonfuls of this cake beside scoops of vanilla ice cream is the most important thing.

Steps:
- Heat oven to 350 degrees and grease an 8-inch (square or round) baking dish with butter. Set aside.
- Using your hands or the back of a fork, mash the berries to release all their juices, and stir in 1/3 cup of the brown sugar. Set aside.
- In a medium bowl, whisk together the melted butter, remaining 1/3 cup brown sugar, milk and salt, then add the flour and baking powder and continue whisking just until the batter is smooth. Transfer the batter (it's not much) to the greased baking dish, and spread evenly into corners.
- Spoon the strawberries and all their juices over the top of the cake batter. Place in the oven and bake for 20 to 25 minutes, or just when a toothpick comes out clean in the center. Remove from the oven and allow to cool for 3 to 5 minutes before spooning into bowls. Serve warm with ice cream.
STRAWBERRY SPOON CAKE
This spoon cake is sort of a mix of a spoonbread, a pudding cake, and a biscuit all in one. It's then topped with delicious strawberries for an easy, home-style dessert. It's better to err on the side of under-baking this cake rather than over-baking, as it's meant to have a soft center. Serve it warm, with some vanilla ice cream, if desired.

Steps:
- Combine strawberries, 2 tablespoons sugar, and lemon juice in a medium bowl. Toss to combine and allow to sit for about 10 minutes.
- Place butter into a 10-inch cast iron skillet. Place skillet into the oven and heat to 350 degrees F (175 degrees). Allow the butter to melt as the oven preheats.
- Meanwhile, whisk together flour, 1/2 cup sugar, baking powder, baking soda, and salt in a large bowl until thoroughly combined.
- Carefully remove the skillet from the oven; swirl to spread butter evenly. Pour remaining melted butter into the flour mixture. Set the skillet aside to cool slightly. Add buttermilk and vanilla to the flour and butter mixture. Stir just until no dry clumps of flour remain. Pour batter back into the skillet, and spread into an even layer. Spoon strawberries and their juices over the top.
- Place skillet back into the oven, and bake until center of the cake is just barely set, 32 to 37 minutes. Cool for 5 minutes before serving. Serve warm.
