I recently got a half flat of fresh, organic, local strawberries. They go bad pretty fast so even though we have been eating them daily I needed to come up with some recipes that would use and abundance of them. I used the softest strawberries that were nearing the end of their days for this recipe.
Adapted from Martha Stewart Living
3 c strawberries
6Tbs butter at room temp
3/4 c sugar (Martha calls for a cup so if you must - up the sugar)
1lrg egg
1/2c buttermilk
1tbs vanilla
1/2 c whole wheat flour
1 c all purpose flour
1/2 tsp salt
1 1/2 tsp baking powder
Stem and half strawberries and set aside. Preheat oven to 350 and butter a pie plate.
Beat butter and sugar until light and fluffy add in egg, vanilla and buttermilk and continue to beat until mixed. with the mixer running add salt and baking powder then wheat flour and lastly all purpose flour. Mix until combined and pour into pie plate.
Place strawberries in batter cut side down as close together as possible until there is no more room. Bake at 350 for 10mins and then reduce temp to 325 and bake another hour or I put mine on time bake for 45mins and left it in there through cooling.
With the leftover strawberries put them in a pot with a couple of tablespoons of water and sugar and simmer until soft then mash into a sauce. When ready to eat poor sauce over portions of cake- Yummmm!!!
So sorry we gobbled this so fast I didn't even get a chance for pics!
