Belated Strawberry Upside-Down Cake

I was out of town this weekend and didn't have time to bake anything. I saw huge strawberries on sale at Publix and decided to make this cake. Not much to say, it smells lovely. Probably no musing tomorrow, I'm deep in the weeds.



Ingredients

• 2 Tablespoons butter (for the topping)
• 1/2 Cup Brown Sugar
• 1 Cup of Sliced Strawberries
• 1 1/3 Cup All-Purpose Flour
• 2/3 Cup Sugar
• 2 Teaspoons Baking Powder
• 2/3 Cup Milk
• 1/4 cup Soft Butter (for the cake)
• 1 Egg
• 1 Teaspoon Vanilla

Directions

1. Pre-Heat the oven to 350.
2. In a 9in round cake dish melt the 2 table spoons of butter, mix in the brown sugar, add the strawberries, and then set it to the side.
3. In a mixer bowl stir the flour, sugar, and baking powder together. Then add the milk, butter, egg, and vanilla. Mix until smooth. Then gently pour over the fruit in the cake pan. You may want to use a lager spoon. The key is for the fruit to stay on the bottom, and not to mix with the batter.
4. Bake in the oven at 350 for 30 to 35 minutes. Check the middle of the cake with a toothpick or knife to see if it’s done. When done remove from the oven and place on a rack to cool for 5 to 10 minutes. Then flip it over on to a serving plate, and remove the pan.
