Ingredients Equipment Method

Ingredients
  

  • 1 ½ cups all-purpose flour sifted
  • 1 cup granulated sugar
  • ½ cup unsalted butter melted
  • 2 large eggs
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • ½ cup milk
  • 1 ½ cups fresh strawberries hulled and chopped

Equipment

  • Mixing bowls
  • Electric Mixer or Whisk
  • 9x13 inch baking pan
  • Parchment paper
  • Spatula
  • Cooling rack

Method
 

  1. Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C). Line the baking pan with parchment paper and set aside.
  2. Combine the sifted flour and sugar in a large mixing bowl. Mix well to incorporate.
    1 ½ cups fresh strawberries
  3. Add the melted butter, eggs, vanilla extract, and milk to the dry ingredients. Use an electric mixer or whisk to beat until the batter is smooth and slightly thickened, about 2-3 minutes. The batter should be uniform with no lumps.
    ½ cup unsalted butter, 2 large eggs, 1 teaspoon vanilla extract, ½ cup milk
  4. Gently fold the chopped strawberries into the batter until evenly dispersed. The mixture will be slightly uneven due to the berries.
    1 ½ cups fresh strawberries
  5. Pour the batter into the prepared baking pan, spreading evenly with a spatula. Place in the oven and bake for 30 minutes, or until the top is golden and a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean. The edges should be slightly pulling away from the pan.
  6. Remove from the oven and allow to cool in the pan for 10 minutes. Transfer to a cooling rack and let cool completely before serving. Optionally, garnish with additional sliced strawberries on top.
