Ingredients
For the Roasted Strawberries:
- 16 ounces strawberries, hulled and halved
- 3 tablespoons honey
- 1 tablespoon extra virgin olive oil
- ¼ teaspoon kosher salt
For the Cake:
- 1 cup granulated sugar
- 1 tablespoon lemon zest 1 medium lemon
- 2 large eggs
- ¼ teaspoon salt
- 1 teaspoon pure vanilla extract
- ½ teaspoon pure almond extract
- ¾ cup all-purpose flour
- ¼ cup almond flour/meal
- ½ teaspoon baking powder
- 6 tablespoons unsalted butter melted and cooled
- ¼ cup sliced almonds
Instructions
- Roast the strawberries: Place a rack in the center of the oven and preheat oven to 375 degrees F. Line a rimmed baking sheet with parchment paper or foil. (Be sure to use a rimmed baking sheet to catch any strawberry juices.) Place the strawberries in a medium bowl, then drizzle with the honey, olive oil, and salt. With a large spoon, gently stir until the strawberries are evenly coated. Arrange strawberries in a single layer on the prepared baking sheet. Roast for 20-25 minutes, watching carefully towards the end—the juices will thicken and darken, but should not scorch. Gently scrape the berries and juice into a small bowl while still warm. Set aside.
- Prepare the cake: Center a rack in the oven and preheat the oven to 350 degrees F. Butter an 8-inch cast-iron skillet, other heavy oven-proof skillet, an 8-inch cake round cake pan, or a 9-inch pie dish. (If using pie dish, check baking time a few minutes ahead.)
- In a medium bowl, blend the granulated sugar the lemon zest together with your fingers, until the sugar is moist and scented.
- Whisk in the eggs one at a time until well blended. Whisk in the salt, vanilla extract, and almond extract. Sprinkle the almond flour, all-purpose flour, and baking powder over the top of the wet ingredients.
- Switch to a rubber spatula and fold to combine. Finally, fold in the melted butter.
- Pour the batter into the prepared skillet or pan and smooth the top. Scatter the sliced almonds over the surface. Top with half of the roasted strawberries (the top should be fairly well covered, but not completely). If you're using a cake or pie pan, place the pan on a baking sheet.
- Bake the cake for 22 to 25 minutes, or until it is golden and lightly crisp on the outside, but the inside is still moist. Remove the pan from the oven and let cool for 5 minutes, then run a knife around the sides of the cake to loosen it. Scatter the remaining strawberries over the top. Let cool completely before slicing.
Notes
- TO STORE: Cover and refrigerate leftover cake for up to 3 days.
- TO FREEZE: Wrap cake tightly with plastic wrap, then place in an airtight, freezer-safe storage container for up to 3 months. Let thaw overnight in the refrigerator before serving.
