French Strawberry Cake
Report
French strawberry cake is a delicious dessert cake with a custard-like center and a sugary, crackled crust. It's brimming with juicy strawberries and best of all, it only takes 10 minutes to mix up.

Notes
- This recipe is adapted from Martha Stewart Living.
- Strawberries. After washing the strawberries, dry them as much as possible with paper towels. Slice them at least in half, or if the berries are very large, in quarters.
- Butter and eggs. For best results, have the butter and the eggs at room temperature before beginning to make the cake. If you forget to take them out of the fridge, you can soften the butter in 10 second intervals in the microwave, just don't let it melt. For the eggs, just submerge them in warm (not hot) water for five minutes to bring them to room temperature.
- Sugar: If you prefer a sweeter cake, you can add up to a half cup more sugar.
- Baking pan. This French strawberry cake recipe is made in a nine inch springform cake pan. If you use a smaller pan, the cake will be deeper and you may need to increase the baking time. I've made this cake in a pie plate and that works too, as long as it's a nine inch pan.
- Baking times. The baking time can vary a lot. Keep an eye on the cake during the last 10 minutes. You may need to remove it from the oven sooner or leave it in longer. Use the toothpick method to check for doneness. If it's done, a toothpick should come out clean when inserted into the center of the cake.
- Fruit. This cake recipe works equally well with other fruits and berries. Try raspberries, blueberries, blackberries, or sliced peaches, plums, apples or pears.
- Storage. Store the strawberry cake, covered, at room temperature for up to 2 days, or in the fridge for five days.
