Strawberry Spoon Cake

You may have already seen this popular NYT recipe for strawberry spoon cake by Jerrelle Guy (chocolateforbasil.com), which is-dare we say-the recipe of the summer. It's straightforward, seemingly impossible to mess up and takes less than an hour from beginning to end. Did we mention it's delicious? It's as if cobbler, cake and molten-butter-goodness had a baby. The kind of baby we'd sit for free. An easy baby that laughs at everything you say, making you the funniest person alive. This metaphor is getting weird, but you get the idea-we like it!
Dak made this cake at least four times this summer. She even brought it camping, despite her partner's skepticism that she could make it before an early-morning departure. Since filming this video a week ago, Ju made it again: this time with fresh huckleberries.
We had never heard of spoon cake before, but based on our research, we think it might truly just mean that you serve the whole thing with a spoon. What these spoon cake recipes have in common is their high proportion of milk / butter to flour, giving it the dreamy texture we loved.
When you take it out of the oven, it might look a little jiggly. It will firm up slightly as it sits on the counter, but hopefully not entirely. The normal signals for this-cake-is-done won't be present-if you stick a toothpick into the center, it will come out sticky. We had no idea this was the lawless dessert we needed, but here we are.
It's best served fresh out of the oven with vanilla ice cream or fresh whipped cream.
If you're ready to move on to other summer fruit, try it with peaches, blackberries-you name it.
