Strawberry Skillet Cake

Strawberry Skillet Cake

1 Cup Flour

1 1/2 teaspoons baking powder

1/4 cup brown sugar Plus 2 Tablespoons (divided)

1 egg

1/2 cup sour cream

1/4 cup melted butter

1 cup sliced or quartered strawberries

Preheat oven to 400 degrees F.  Generously grease a 9 1/2 inch cast iron skillet. 

Sprinkle 2 tablespoons brown sugar over strawberries and gently toss.  Set aside.

Whisk together:  flour, baking powder and salt in a small bowl and set aside.

In a larger mixing bowl, whisk 1/4 cup brown sugar and egg until smooth.  Whisk in the sour cream until blended, then repeat with the melted butter.  Dump in the flour mixture and gently stir to combine.  Do not over mix or you will have a tough crumb.

Scatter the berries over the batter and gently press down.  Drizzle any juices from the berry bowl.

Bake in the center of the oven until golden about 20-25 minutes.

Serve warm with some half and half, or whip cream!  Yum!
