Grandma’s Strawberry Upside Down Cake: Simple Recipe for Perfect Summer Dessert

Grandma's Strawberry Upside-Down Cake: A Summer Slice of Childhood Joy. Cut into summer childhood and you’ll taste sun-warmed strawberries glazed with caramel-brown butter and a cake that behaves like a hug in a pan.

The batter folds in vanilla air and a kiss of milk, then slides over the fruit to bake until the top turns a toasty gold and the kitchen fills with creamy, fruity steam.

Every summer it's the same thing. I set out the burgers, the mac and cheese, all of it, and the cucumber salad is gone before anyone touches the rest.
