This strawberry buckle is a moist, tender cake recipe with juicy fresh strawberries and a sweet crumble top. It’s an old-fashioned dessert that’s quick and easy to make in a skillet! The outside crisps up, while the inside stays soft and buttery.
Why You’ll Love This Strawberry Buckle Recipe
This strawberry buckle is a lot like a coffee cake, baked with juicy fresh berries so that the cake falls or “buckles” under the weight of the fruit. I love an old-timey dessert, and this one is perfect for strawberry season! Here’s what makes it the best:
Soft and buttery. This strawberry buckle recipe has all the ease of a cobbler, with the soft and buttery crumb of an ultra-moist coffee cake.
Made in a skillet. The thick batter is studded with chopped fresh strawberries and bakes up easily in a skillet. It leaves the edges crispy while keeping the inside moist and tender.
Easy to make. Mix the batter in minutes, and then bake. This buckle recipe needs one bowl, no mixer, and very little effort. Waiting for this cake to cool is the hardest part!
