4-Ingredient Baked Strawberry Dessert

 

How to Make It

1
Prep the Fruit Base
5 minutes

Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Lightly grease an 8×8-inch or 9×9-inch glass baking dish with cooking spray. Dump the thickly sliced fresh strawberries directly into the bottom of the dish, spreading them out into a thick, even layer.

2
Create the Crumble Topping
3 minutes

In a medium bowl, pour in the dry cake mix. Pour the melted stick of butter directly over the powder. Use a fork to toss and mix the components together until a shaggy, clumped, playdough-like crumble forms.

3
Assemble and Dust
2 minutes

Evenly scatter the buttery cake mix crumbles over the top of the strawberries, leaving a few small gaps so the red fruit can peek through as it bakes. Finish by evenly sprinkling the granulated or coarse sugar over the top of the crumbles.

4
Bake Until Golden
35-40 minutes

Place the dish in the oven and bake for 35 to 40 minutes. You will know it is ready when the strawberry juices are furiously bubbling up along the edges of the glass and the crumble topping has achieved a deep, toasted golden-brown crunch. Let it cool for 10 minutes before digging in.

 

Pro-Tips for the Ultimate Strawberry Bake

  • Leave the Berries Thick: Avoid chopping your strawberries too small or slicing them thinly. They break down significantly in the high heat of the oven; keeping the pieces substantial ensures you get distinct, juicy bursts of fruit in every spoonful rather than a completely flat syrup.

  • The Golden Finish: If your crumble layer isn’t looking quite as deeply browned by the 35-minute mark, turn your oven to the broil setting for the final 60 to 90 seconds. Keep a close eye on it so the sugar doesn’t burn!

  • How to Serve: While magnificent on its own, the intense, warm sweetness of the baked strawberries practically begs for a cooling contrast. Serve individual portions warm from the baking dish alongside a generous scoop of vanilla bean ice cream or a dollop of fresh whipped cream
