I am looking for bright, sweet fruit in my life right about now. It happens to be January and we currently have about 2 feet of snow on the ground outside. Anything that drags me out of the dark tundra I am living in is welcomed with open arms.

Strawberry Buckle Recipe

I’m pretty sure that strawberries are the happiest of all the berries. So I picked up a pound of them at the supermarket and decided to give them a purpose. And really isn’t baking them in a cake the obvious choice?

Also, let’s clarify…a “Buckle” is just another word for coffee cake baked with fruit. I had to look that up 🙂

The cake goes together really easily, AND I baked it in a skillet which is my favorite. It leaves the edges crispy, while keeping the inside moist and tender! If you don’t have a 10- inch skillet you can use a 10- inch Springform pan OR you can use a round 9- inch pan, but you will have to add a few minutes to the bake time.

Mix the batter up and fold in the strawberries. I cut each berry into quarters for larger chunks.
