Recipe Review

This cake is incredibly simple to make and yet manages to capture the essence of summer. I even made this at 9,000-ft altitude and it came out wonderfully. Don't forget to sprinkle the sugar on top (like I almost did) because it does help the strawberries to get nice and gooey, and makes a delicious crunchy crust.

The recipe calls for a 10" pie dish but I only had a 9" one available. The batter fit but I had one minor spillover during baking, so if you have a smaller pan you'll probably want to put a baking sheet below it. I would recommend using the larger pie dish if you have it because it will make the cake slightly thinner and allow you to put the full pound of halved strawberries on top (I ran out of room).
