Step-by-Step Instructions for Easy Strawberry Spoon Cake
  1. Trim and slice fresh strawberries into bite-sized pieces. In a medium bowl, toss them with 1/4 cup of brown sugar and let sit for 10-15 minutes.
  2. Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease a 10-12 inch baking dish with softened butter.
  3. In a large mixing bowl, combine melted salted butter and remaining brown sugar. Whisk in egg, buttermilk, and vanilla extract until smooth.
  4. Sift together flour, baking powder, and salt into wet ingredients. Fold gently until just combined.
  5. Pour batter into the prepared baking dish. Spoon macerated strawberries and their juices over the batter, followed by dollops of strawberry jam.
  6. Place in the oven and bake for 30-40 minutes until edges are set and center is slightly jiggly.
  7. Allow to cool for about 5 minutes. Serve warm with a scoop of vanilla ice cream or whipped cream on top.
