Buttermilk Breakfast Cakes with Balsamic Strawberries
Ingredients
- 1 lb fresh strawberries
- 1 Tb extra virgin olive oil
- 3 Tb real maple syrup, extra for serving
- 3 Tb golden balsamic vinegar
- 2 1/2 c all-purpose flour
- 1/2 c granulated sugar
- 2 teaspoon baking powder
- 1/2 teaspoon fine sea salt
- 1/4 c unsalted butter, melted but not hot
- 2 eggs
- 1 1/4 c buttermilk
- 1 teaspoon vanilla
- 1/4 c demerara sugar
Instructions
- To begin, preheat your oven to 375 degrees.
- Hull the strawberries and cut each strawberry in half lengthwise. Place them in a small bowl.
- In another small bowl, combine the extra virgin olive oil, maple syrup, and amber balsamic vinegar. Whisk these together and pour over the strawberries. Gentle turn the strawberries to coat them in the glaze.
- Pour the strawberries and glaze onto a rimmed baking sheet or other shallow baking dish, such as a 9×13 cake pan. Bake these for 10 minutes.
- Meanwhile, combine the flour, sugar, baking powder, and sea salt in your mixing bowl.
- In another bowl, whisk together the eggs, buttermilk, vanilla, and melted butter.
- Add these to the dry ingredients and mix until combined and there are no lumps, scraping the bowl with a rubber spatula.
- Spray your wedge pan with non-stick cooking spray. Scoop about 1/4 cup of batter into each wedge.
- Place a strawberry half on top of the batter in each wedge and sprinkle with the demerara sugar.
- Bake this for 20-22 minutes, or until the cakes test done with a wooden pick.
- Serve topped with additional strawberries and a drizzle of maple syrup.
- Enjoy!

I would say my favorite Summer produce has to be watermelon. I love cutting into a great watermelon, sprinkling a little salt on it & enjoying!

I love love love zucchini… zoodles, fried zucchini, zucchini bread- everything!
My favorite is a toss up between strawberries and peaches. Living in central Texas we get the best ever peaches and berries. My favorite way to eat them is to pick them fresh and wipe them off on my shirt tail and start munching. Yep I know what they say about washing them but I ain’t died from it yet. I would love the Rubbermaid I’ve been eying em’ at Wally’s World but just can’t go the price. I would need a bit bigger budget
We love this amazing recipe…and saving money thanks to Rubbermaid! #freshworksfreshness #ad
I enjoy fresh tomatoes and cucumbers from my garden. I like just slicing them up with a little salt or making a summer fresh salad with them and other veggies.

My favorite summer produce is zucchini and I love grilling it, stuffing it, and making pancakes out of it.
I’m addicted to strawberries in the summer. We love picking our own and using them in everything from lemonade to salad.

I would really love to have this to store all of my fruits and veggies from my garden
I love fresh berries( raspberries, strawberries and blueberries) with whipped cream and mini chocolate chips!
I like strawberries in the summer especially in a strawberry pie.
I don’t do Facebook so guess this is it LOL. I pretty much love all of the fruits and vegetables during the summer but I think my absolute favorites are tomatoes, okra and Elberta peaches. I like cooked tomatoes, okra, Vidalia onions and all cooked together and I like the peaches sliced with dollups of cream on the top! Mmm good! All of it :)
Also, wanted to thank you for telling about this new product… oh my I can’t wait to get some!

My absolute favorite summer produce is the tomato! I love them alone or on a hot biscuit, anyway really, they make all our summer meals better!! Thank you for the giveaway!
Awesome. This will be great for mushrooms which I buy often. ?
This looks amazing! (And not just for the drawing :D). I want to try those berries.
My favorite summer fruit is cherries and I eat them straight. I also freeze them to microwave in winter–they make such a lovely syrup!
I love fresh fruit that is available during the summer.

Well, oops. My first comment disappeared so I left another, but it magically reappeared. ?
Also, I commented without reading the “rules” so, my favorite way to use mushrooms is on home made pizza and in “chicken cheesesteak” subs. Yummy!
LOL, I was having some technical difficulty with a code that was in the post. It caused all of the comments and even the comment form to go away. I removed the code for the time being to get the post to display properly :) Sorry for the confusion!
