Easy Strawberry Cake Easy Skillet Dessert Wellplated Com

Our wedding cake was strawberry, so every year on our anniversary, I like to make a strawberry dessert to celebrate (cheers to Strawberry Pie!). This classic fresh Strawberry Cake is my move when I want something extra special (it’s truly divine and 1,000% worth the effort). When I want a fab dessert fast (ahem, anytime I am hosting or craving cake in general), I make this easy strawberry cake recipe. We’re currently on the trip of a lifetime in the Maldives and Dubai to celebrate 10 years of marriage (and 17+ years of friendship). You can follow along on Instagram. While we’re out, I wanted to reintroduce you to a cake that I originally shared our two-year wedding anniversary(!!!). (Scroll down for a throwback wedding pic.)

This easy strawberry cake is the softest, most moist cake I’ve ever baked.It’s buttery and creamy, with a lightly crispy exterior.Roasted strawberries are a simple but powerful extra step that makes this cake stand out among others.

How to Make EASY Strawberry Cake from Scratch

You can easily find a moist strawberry cake recipe from box, usually with Jell-O added to make the cake moist. NOT NECESSARY. Make this divine (and far better-tasting) easy strawberry cake without gelatine instead.

This homemade strawberry cake is 100% from scratch, so you can feel good about the ingredients.It tastes super moist, thanks to a star secret ingredient: almond flour.

Almond flour gives the cake an unmistakable rich, buttery texture and taste. This cake has more density to it than a strawberry sponge cake, and that’s a good thing. It’s a little bit crunchy at the top and edges and golden and plush within.

The Ingredients

All-Purpose Flour. Half of the flour duo in this skillet cake.Almond Flour. Desserts baked with almond flour are uniquely rich and absolutely divine (just ask this Almond Flour Cake). You can find more ways to use it in any of these almond flour recipes.

Almond Extract. Ups the complexity factor.Vanilla. Enhances the overall flavor of the cake and pairs wonderfully with the strawberries and almond. Sliced Almonds. For a little crunch.Butter. Makes the cake tender and gives it an old-fashioned strawberry cake flavor.Eggs. Adds richness and contributes to the cake’s structure.Sugar + Lemon Zest. Combining these two ingredients creates a delightful lemon sugar that elevates and brightens this cake.Strawberries. Not just any old strawberries, ROASTED strawberries. While this almond skillet cake would be delish without them, I love the intense strawberry flavor these give the cake.

Honey. Helps the strawberries caramelize in the oven.
