Ingredients
Scale
4 cups fresh strawberries, hulled and sliced
1 cup granulated sugar, divided
1 tablespoon lemon juice
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
1 cup all-purpose flour
1 tablespoon baking powder
1/2 teaspoon salt
1 cup whole milk
1/2 cup unsalted butter, melted
1 teaspoon ground cinnamon (optional)
Vanilla ice cream or whipped cream for serving (optional)
Instructions
Wash the strawberries thoroughly under cold water to remove any dirt or pesticides.
Hull the strawberries by removing the green tops and slice them in half or quarters, depending on their size.
In a large mixing bowl, combine the sliced strawberries with 1/2 cup of granulated sugar, lemon juice, and vanilla extract. Toss gently and let sit for about 15-20 minutes.
Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C).
In a separate mixing bowl, whisk together the flour, remaining 1/2 cup of sugar, baking powder, salt, and ground cinnamon (if using).
Pour in the whole milk and melted butter into the dry ingredients. Stir gently until just combined.
Pour the batter into a 9×13-inch baking dish and spread it out evenly.
Spoon the macerated strawberries and their juices over the batter without stirring.
Optionally, sprinkle a little extra sugar over the strawberries.
Bake for 40-45 minutes, until the top is golden brown and a toothpick comes out clean.
Cool for 10-15 minutes before serving with ice cream or whipped cream if desired.
