Strawberries are phenomenal right now and the summer is in full, sultry swing. If you have berries left when you’re done covering every speck of the cake, nudge them closer, even overlapping them by a little edge. The most persnickety thing about the whole cake is arranging the berries on top and for this, but a messy, disorganized collage is the only way to go. Delightfully, the baking time for the larger size is a little less while the servings jump to 12 to 16 per cake. I’ve reduced the batter effort to one bowl. I haven’t made it the original way since, and I thought you deserved an update that was more than a footnote, too. The 1.5x yield of batter and berries creates the strawberry summer sheet cake I’ve always needed and finally have. I’m not sure why it took me until this summer to get it right, but I finally realized that I was scaling it wrong. The cake was too thick and 2 pounds of berries never fit on top, meaning you’ll use less, and if you use less, the cake is, in my opinion, way less spectacular.

The edges of the cake brown and become faintly crisp. The sunken berries dimple the top like a country quilt. In the oven, the batter buckles around the berries, turning them into jammy puddles, especially if your strawberries are a touch overripe. There’s a full pound of berries placed on top before you bake the cake, more than easily fit. There’s seemingly nothing new or revolutionary but what differentiates it from other summer cakes is the sheer volume of strawberries. The berries are fresh, hulled and halved. The batter is a simple cake - butter, sugar, flour, eggs, milk. Eight years ago, I wrote about a strawberry cake I’d been making and tweaking from Martha Stewart since, apparently, 2005 that felt to me like the epitome of early summer.
