Strawberry Spoon Cake

Strawberry spoon cake is the ultimate cozy dessert, perfect for when you want something simple yet utterly delicious. It’s the kind of dessert that feels like a warm hug, with sweet, juicy strawberries baked into a soft, golden cake that’s so tender you can scoop it straight from the dish with a spoon. This cake is made for sharing, whether it’s a family dinner, a casual get-together with friends, or just a quiet evening at home. With its rustic, homestyle vibe, strawberry spoon cake is all about comfort and flavor.

The beauty of this cake lies in its simplicity. You don’t need any fancy techniques or equipment—just fresh strawberries, our Gluten Free All Purpose Flour, a handful of pantry staples, and a baking dish. The batter comes together in no time, and as it bakes, the strawberries release their juices, creating a luscious, jammy layer that melds perfectly with the soft, buttery cake. The edges of the cake turn golden and slightly crisp, while the middle stays moist and tender, making every bite a delicious mix of textures and flavors.

What makes this cake even more special is its versatility. While strawberries bring a lovely brightness and sweetness, you can easily swap in other fruits depending on the season—blueberries, peaches, or raspberries work just as beautifully. A dollop of whipped cream or a scoop of vanilla ice cream takes this humble dessert to the next level, adding a creamy contrast to the warm cake and juicy fruit. It’s the kind of dessert that feels indulgent yet comforting, perfect for any occasion.

Strawberry spoon cake is the essence of homemade goodness. It’s quick to prepare, endlessly adaptable, and absolutely satisfying. Whether you’re enjoying it warm from the oven or sneaking a spoonful the next day, this cake will quickly become a favorite in your recipe collection. With its nostalgic flavors and cozy appeal, it’s a dessert that brings people together, making any day feel a little more special.

made by hand, from the heart

Ingredients

INGREDIENTS:

 

½ cup  unsalted butter, melted, plus more for greasing

5 ounces (about 1 cup) fresh, hulled strawberries

⅔ cup packed light brown sugar, separated

½ cup whole milk, room temperature

½ teaspoon salt

1 teaspoon vanilla extract

1 cup Hand + Heart Gluten Free All Purpose Flour

1 teaspoon baking powder

Vanilla ice cream, for serving

Instructions

INSTRUCTIONS:

  1. Preheat oven to 350º F degrees and grease an 8-inch (square or round) baking dish with butter. Set aside.
  2. Using your hands or the back of a fork, mash the berries to release all their juices, and stir in ⅓ cup of the brown sugar. Set aside.
  3. In a medium bowl, whisk together the melted butter, remaining ⅓ cup brown sugar, milk and salt.  Add the gluten free flour and baking powder and continue whisking just until the batter is smooth. Transfer the batter to the greased baking dish, and spread evenly into the corners.
  4. Spoon mashed strawberries and all their juices over the top of the cake batter. Place in the oven and bake for 30 to 35 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.
